Keeping up with the Kuehnholds: Easton's first outing and only 4 days old

Mommy and Easton had a really big day yesterday considering it was our first day after leaving the hospital. Thankfully I had my parents there to help me get everything ready. I never realized how much time it actually takes to get a little baby ready...all the stuff you need to take with you. Will definiltey be an adjustment and will have to give myself ample time.

Decided even though I was out on maternity leave to still come into work today for a job interview. The interview went really well. They couldn't believe that i was in interviewing only days after having a c-section..Hopefully I will hear something soon. It was good to see everyone at work as well. I definiltey will enjoy my time home with little Easton but I will also miss the every day to day events that go on at work. Hopefully by the time I come back to work they will have everything figured out and the transition will be more smoothly for me. While i was interviewing, Grandma and Grandpa took Easton to see daddy at work. I"m sure he had a great time showing baby Easton off to everyone. I didn't realize that everything would take so long so I couldn't bring Easton up to show my co-workers. We were on a time schedule since he had a doctors appointment at 1:30 to see how his weight was holding up.

Doctors appointment went really well. Our pediatrition, Dr Owens at Mercy East, seems to be a really nice guy. He's older and has years of experience which is comforting to me. Easton hasn't lost any weight since coming home from the hospital. He's stayed the same.. 6lbs 9 oz. Hopefully when my milk comes in he'll start gaining the weight he's lost back and not be at risk for dehydration. I'm definitley not wanting to suppliment so hopefully it will come in soon.

My sister was still in the hospital from having baby Jace so we decided to go and see her even though I was completely out of energy and exhausted. Its crazy trying to arrange everything because my parents are here and they definitley want to spend time with both of us and our little blessings.

Overall the first day turned out really well and Easton was a happy baby most of the day. We got home and I completely crashed. Going on one hour of sleep the first night home really has taken a toll on me. Hopefully I will sleep better tonight and not be as exhausted tomorrow. Can't believe it will be a week Friday since going into labor and Easton will be a week old. Time really does fly..will have to cherish every moment I have with him while i'm on maternity leave.
