Exciting day

Today was a very full, exhausting day. Caleb is currently out like a light. The little guy did have his circumcision this morning which went very well. Our doctor said he didn't even cry for the actual procedure (after the block was in). He was quite tired afterward, partially due to the excitement, partially due to him being on Tylenol. I also wanted to add a picture of Caleb and his/our doctor. Dr. Burnett was amazing through the whole pregnancy and labor. We were extremely blessed to have him deliver Caleb and are so happy we will have him as a doctor for any more pregnancies in the future.


After the procedure we hung out in the room until the first of our visitors arrived. It was great to see Hannah and Zach and excited that they got to meet the little guy. Can't wait till they have one of their own. :)


After H&Z left, we had a feeding with a lactation consultant present to make sure that myself and Caleb were doing everything correctly. Caleb is a champ when it comes to nursing; he caught on very quickly and does a great job. Teresa was also able to give us little tips to help make the whole process easier. The staff here has been incredible with answering all of our questions and providing help whenever we need it.

Right as we were done feeding we got our next set of visitors; Ashley and Eric plus the whole Lemke clan and Jen. I just love some of the photos we were able to get with the Lemke kiddos and Caleb. Caleb must have been dreaming or passing gas because he was all smiles. :)





Love this expression!!
Caleb became quite overwhelmed with all the visitors and became a little restless towards the end. After everyone left it took a bit of nursing and cuddling to settle him down but he has been sleeping for a couple hours now. The only thing left on tonight's schedule is to get him fitted in his car seat so hopefully we can just do lots more cuddling before bed time.

Tomorrow will also be a busy day; with getting ready for our discharge. We probably won't have time to post in the morning (unless Caleb has us up really early) but will try to keep the updates coming once we get home. Have a great night everyone!
