2nd week home

Our second week home was filled with doctor's appointments. First, he had his 2 week checkup, which we found out he had gained back all of his birth weight, and then some! He was already up to 8 pounds, 13 ounces. Way to go little man!

Also, we had to take him back to the hospital for his hearing screening. The silly hospital staff decided to do the test right after he was circumcised, so of course he was wiggling around and fussing, and they couldn't get a reading. Thanks a lot...

Even though it was a pain in the butt to pack him up and go to the appointment, I was so relieved when he passed. I can't even imagine how sad I would be to find out he was deaf or had a hearing issue. Never being able to listen to music, hear the sound of our voices or anything. I know there are a ton of programs out there these days to help the disabled, but I was so happy to find out that he is healthy and happy.

As for the rest of the week, we just spent our time trying to convince him that bath time isn't so bad (I think he likes it now!), and trying to remember to not put him to bed with a pacifier. He tends to spit it out when he falls asleep and then realizes its gone and starts crying. About every 30 seconds. That was a fun night!

On another note, Bobby's aunt threw a "Welcome to the World Gunner" BBQ for us, which was really fun. Here's a picture of Bobby and his bestie and his son :]
