All things Sam
I thought I would catch up on everything about Sam.
Eating
Sam is a great eater. He is eating between 2 & 2.5 ounces each feeding and doing a great job. Sometimes he is a little difficult to burp, but for the most part it is easy.
Sleeping
Sam is also a great sleeper. He loves to be snuggled up and really warm. Sometimes he falls asleep when daddy is holding him just because he is so warm.
Diapering
He is not fond of having his diaper changed. He knows when it is coming and starts getting a little fussy. If you talk to him before and during sometimes you can keep him from crying, but for the most part he cries when you change his diaper. I don't blame him.

Pediatrician Appointment
Sam just got back from his first dr appointment. He got a clean bill of health. He does not need to go back until he is 2 weeks old - yay!
He did such a good job at the dr - he doesn't like being cold and he really doesn't like having his diaper changed so the fact that he was mostly naked the entire visit was a big deal. He cried but he did calm down when I started talking to him.

Day 2 at "home"
Sam is an awesome baby. He is doing so great. We are purposefully not being the slightest bit quiet around him so he will be used to noise and he is great with it. We ran the dishwasher yesterday and I think it is the loudest one I have ever heard, he didn't even flinch.
He is starting to be awake for longer periods of time.
He has his follow-up appointment with a local pediatrician tomorrow to get weighed and checked over to make everything is good. He was 6.3 lbs at birth, 6.17 at discharge so we will see where he is tomorrow.

He's "Home"
Sam was discharged to us at 11:00 am this morning. We love having him with us all the time. He has eaten twice and done great both times.
We gave him his Easter basket which of course he didn't care about. Next year will be a different story.

Another visit
I went back to the hospital by myself this evening so that Will could stay at the hotel and feed Megan dinner and put her down for the night.
I really enjoyed just getting to hold Sam and snuggle him. He held onto my fingers most of the time. Such a sweet, sweet baby.
Can't wait to bring him "home" tomorrow.

2 days old
Sam is 2 days old today. He is sleeping most of the time.
Nichole "messed with him" to get him to wake up and open his eyes. I managed to get a decent photo of him with with his eyes open.
We introduced him to his big sister Megan today. She wasn't impressed, she just wanted to take his blanket. We plan on introducing them further once he comes home from the hospital and we can do it in a safe environment.

Sleepy little guy
We finally made it to the hospital around noon yesterday. Megan wasn't allowed in the maternity room so Will and I took turns going back.
I went first and was able to hold him for about 10-15 minutes. He was sleeping and just snuggled in my arms. By the time I let Will back he only got to hold him for a few seconds before the nurse took him away.
We are excited to get back to the hospital later this morning to spend more time with him and for Megan to get to meet him. Nichole got permission for Megan to be in the room today so that they can spend some time together.

He's Here
Sam was born around 6:30 or so this morning. I will input the correct time once I know it. He weighed 6 lbs, 3 oz and is 20 inches long. We both got to hold him for a little bit - he is very sweet.

First Easter Basket
I went to Walmart last night and bought Sam his first Easter basket. I was going to wait to make sure that he would be here for Easter, but then I didn't want everything to be gone.
I got him the cutest brown bunny basket with some blue grass and a giraffe rattle, a blue puppy teether thing, some keys, a cute bib and of course a Reese's peanut butter egg (for daddy). Megan got candy in her first basket too for daddy to eat.

Sam's first picture
This is the ultrasound photo from one week ago. There was one taken prior to that, but we don't have a copy of it yet.
