doctor's appointment and other firsts
man... in that first week of life, you have a LOT of firsts, let me tell you... here's a few of the things that it was John Mark's first time to do:
On Thursday, we went to the doctor. This was also John Mark's first time to wear big boy clothes...
He was so good for the doctor. He didn't cry at all until he got on the table and had to feel her cold stethoscope on his chest. Then he screamed and made a poopie diaper... He's made quite a few of those. Here's his stats from the doctor:
He had his first poop explosion sans diaper- this was the 2nd time he had showered Micah in one day! Then it started coming out the other end all over the changing pad... this resulted in an impromptu bath for the little guy... plus the 3rd change of clothes for Micah! Because of my c-section, I'm not allowed to sit on the floor, so I haven't had to change too many diapers just yet.
Yesterday he took his first trip to Target. He slept the entire time we were there- he's a true man already! :)
I've had a few firsts as a mommy too. I had my first shower in the middle of the night- and it was a good one- soaked me and himself completely! I'm sure it was a funny sight to see me and John Mark just standing in the hallway dripping...
Another first for me is the ability to wake up completely at the slightest noise- and then stay awake long enough to actually do something about it! Normally, I love my sleep and once I'm out, there's no waking me up... but all that changed the second we brought him home! I've even found myself waking up because it's too quiet and I need to make sure he's breathing!
All in all, it's been a wonderful first week. I can't even remember life without him. My life is definitely better having this wonderful little guy in it!
