Well...Lucas is now 6 days old, and we're doing great! Mom stayed with us for 3 nights, making the transition home much easier. Dad stayed with us Saturday night, left at dinner Sunday, and came back Monday night for dinner. He just couldn't stay away from his only grandson. :)
We took Lucas to the pediatrician (Dr. Trey Castles) yesterday. His weight is back up to 8 lb 11 oz....so just 2 oz to go to birth weight! Because he's doing so well with that, Dr. Trey said we could start to stretch his feedings at night. He said to wake him up every 3 hours during the day, and then let him wake himself up at night for feedings. We did that last night (our first night alone) and he woke up at 2:30, and then not again until 7am! It was awesome!
Kyle is such a great dad. It is so sweet to see the two of them together, it makes me cry. I guess those hormones are still raging in me. haha Kyle is doing a great job around the house, since I still can't move very much. BTW - no one tells you how bad YOU feel physically after giving birth to an almost 9 lb baby! It's getting better each day, but I'm ready to feel like my old self again.
Again, since it's hard to sit in a regular chair, I haven't gotten to the desktop to post new pictures, but I will get to it asap.
So far, life with Lucas is awesome! He told me this morning that he can't wait to meet everyone and cheer on his gamecocks again this Saturday! :)
