I can't believe it has been a week since this wonderful little boy has been out of my belly and in my life. It definitely feels like a shorter amount of time due to him being in the NICU for a few days before we were able to bring him home.
Some things we have observed this week:
~Theo has found his thumb on a few occasions and been caught sucking on it. Hopefully this doesn't mean he is already going to be a thumb sucker! hehe
~During tummy time Theo kicks his legs and moves his arms as if he is trying to crawl, it makes him look like he is such a big boy.
~The last two nights Theo has slept a good majority of the night. We are very grateful for this because the first few nights home we didn't get very much sleep. He woke up at 2:00, 5:00, and 9:00 definitely more sleep than the first few nights were it seemed he was awake every hour. I think he had his days and nights mixed up especially since the night nurses at the NICU are the young nurses who really loved to play with the babies. They would get so excited to be able to do the 3:30 night feeding and be able to hold him!
~We can't use the Newborn Diapers with the umbilical cord cutout otherwise he leaks out of his diaper. Luckily we have some Newborn Diapers without the cutout! He hasn't peed on us yet (he did pee on himself the other day though). Also he has pooped on both Joey and I although I think it was worse when he pooped on Joey in the NICU! Even after being pooped on Joey is doing a wonderful job at diaper duty.
~He loves cuddling and especially skin to skin time.
