Bryce's 1st bath experience

Today we gave Bryce a real bath since he finally lost his umbilical cord. I have named him Sir Poops a lot because it seems like every time I need to change a diaper for him (which is very often) he has gone poo poo! I was very excited to move from sponge baths to soaking baths in the toddler bathtub. He has not been a fan of the sponge bath so I have been moving through these really fast. He was not very happy at first and so I was worried but after a few minutes, he calmed down and seemed to be OK with it. Of course as were were bathing him, Sierra was pulling at my pant leg and wanted to know what we were doing so we brought her up to the counter so she could watch and of course she wanted to play in the water. Shew is our little water lover. I decided it would be good for her to be a little helper so she washed her brother's feet.
All in all, it was a good 1st bath experience for all of us! Phew!
This was the before picture. He had no idea what was about to happen.
Not a fan here.Starting to calm down now.Such a proud sister!

First week home

This last week has been crazy! Every one except for Erik has had Dr appointments. Mom had her one week check up. Bryce had 2 appointments. One at the Lactation specialists to have his hearing test which he passed and he also had his one week appointment at his Pediatrician. Here are his new specs at 8 days old:
7 lbs 5 ounces (he gained all his weight back plus 2 ounces)
20 inches long (grew 2 inches since birth)=50th percentile

The doc said he looked great so far. I was concerned a little because he seems to sleep so much more than Sierra did but he re-assured me that it was fine.
This week also included Bryce's dad's and Auntie Kerstin's b-day so we had dinner together on Weds and Friday night. It was nice to have get togethers with friends and family. We also got to see Nina and her new baby Leah on Friday. It's a blast to know that our kids are so close in age and will be able to grow up together.

Here are some of the pictures of the week:

Sierra carefully kissing and hugging her brother.
Trying to get Sierra to hold her brother for the first time ever. She wasn't having it yet.
Snuggling up after being fed.
This was Bryce's first visit to the doctor's office. It's almost like he knew what was about to come. The doctor=shots.
Look at my guns ladies!

Last day in the hospital

Finally getting the chance to post the pictures from when we left the hospital. That day was a whirlwind from getting the Ok's from my doctor and Bryce's doc and getting everyone all dressed and packed up. Here are the pics from that day:
