First Week Home

Home Sweet Home!

Well, it was our first week at home with Gentry. And we survived....more importantly, he survived. Wow, he's so easy. As long as this kid has a clean diaper and a full stomache, we seem to be doing good.

Big thing this week for me....was to use a pacificer or not....well I finally broke down and gave it to him. To my amazment, Gentry really doesn't care too much one way or another about the pacificer. I just didn't want him to rely on it in order to go to sleep. But it turns out, sometimes he wants and other times, he wants nothing to do with it. Oh....and no thumb sucking yet....thank goodness.

Now, onto the swaddling! He loves it, and the tighter the better. I am so happy that we have all these receiving blankets. They are coming in really handy. So....a big thank you goes out to my sister-in-law, Missy. If it wasn't for her - I would not know how-to swaddle. P.S. A special thanks to my nephew, Parker Ray, for letting me practice on him.

My biggest realization from the first week at home is this: he changes everyday. I can't believe how fast he's growing already......and we've only just begun.

love, robby & alissa
