2 weeks old !!

It is hard to believe that Aiden is already 2 weeks old!! The time has gone so fast. We have had an exciting last week. They moved Aiden to a crib at the hospital over the weekend and took the feeding tube out of his nose on Sunday. Since he keep eating well throughout the weekend he was discharged on Monday!! We were so excited to bring him home and be able to really start our lives together. So far things have been good. We had lots of visitors at the beginning of the week but the last few days it has been just the three of us (and the dog and cat of course) and we have been able to get into a little bit of a routine. The doctors want Aiden to eat a minimum of every 3 hours so that means setting the alarm and having to wake him up in the night if he doesn't wake up on his own. Generally he gets up by himself and he is getting better at staying awake for the whole feeding. He is also finally gaining weight. When he left the hospital he was 4 lb 15 oz. At the doctor this week he was back to 5 lb 1 oz, so hopefully he will be back to his birth weight next week. His umbilical cord also fell off on Thursday so he had his first proper bath yesterday, not his favorite thing but not too terrible either. Overall it has been awesome having him home. Migo seems to be adjusting fairly well and Kindred doesn't seem to really care one way or another. Aaron and I however are totally in love. It is so nice to be able to have him home and be able to hold him and cuddle him whenever we want.
Look at me in my big boy crib!!

We like to think that the birth of Aiden had something to do with MSU being 2-0 and U of M being 0-2. As you can tell he feels very strongly about the subject.
GO STATE!!


Finally home!!

I LOVE my bouncer seat that Aunt Michelle got me. It vibrates and makes ocean noises - very relaxing after at day of eating and sleeping.


All clean after my first bath.


Mmmmm afternoon nap.
