Outings

I enjoy being home; however, it's nice to get out of the house for a change in scenery. Scott was able to take 10 days of paternity leave, and since Thanksgiving fell in the middle of that leave, we had a nice long time with him home with us.

Having Scott home was great, it was like we were on a perpetual weekend. It also came in handy for all of the doctor appointments we had for Liam since I couldn't drive because of my c-section.

Since Liam lost more than 10% of his weight in the hospital, we had an appointment to see the doctor the day after we got out of the hospital (Friday), then she wanted us to have a lab test to his bilirubin levels on Saturday to check to ensure he wasn't getting jaundiced. We also stopped by the doctor's office on Saturday to make sure he was gaining weight - good news, he was!

Then we had his one week appointment on Tuesday and stopped in on Wednesday for another weight check. We saw a lot of Liam's doctor and nurse in his first few weeks - Scott said a few more visits and we would have to become Facebook friends with them. LOL.

After his weight check we decided to run to Target to pick up a few things. I had forgotten how much room the carseat takes up in the shopping cart - looks like we're back to the days of pushing one cart for the carseat and another for whatever we're shopping for (and Karsten!). This was Liam's first outing other than the doctor.
