Birth-1 Week Events

Friday: Born and moved upstairs to new room.  Visitors: Ma, Aunt Anna, Grammy, Papa, Nana, Grandma, Ammah, PawPaw
Saturday:

• Visit from Mrs. Patty from our pediatrician's office.  She said everything was great but that she heard a bit of a heart murmur.  She called a pediatrician to come for a check-up later in the afternoon. 
• Circumcision.  Enough said.
• 24 hour check
• Ma, Aunt Anna, and Nana left to go home.  Ammah and PawPaw also left to go back home.  
• Check-up with Dr. Kahn, the pediatric cardiologist.  He said that he heard a slight murmur, but it is closing up and should continue to close.  We have to follow up with them in a month.
• After waiting for the cardiologist, it was getting late.  When we were told we could go home, they were in the process of discharging someone else.  We ended up having to wait until shift change was over and wait for the nurse to give me my flu shot.  We finally were able to go home around 7:30, after the Auburn game had already kicked off.
• The Auburn game is another story.  Philip got tickets to the Auburn game through work.  When our induction was scheduled, he realized he wouldn't be able to go so he sent his dad and Uncle Keith.  They had a great time, even if Auburn lost.  
• Visitors: Ma, Aunt Anna, Grammy, Papa, Nana, Grandma, Ammah, PawPaw, Uncle Keith 

Sunday:

• Collin didn't wake up until about 9:30.  Grammy and Papa took care of him for a little while until it was time for him to eat. 



• Papa picked up Grandma so that she could see Collin before they left.

• Right before Grammy and Papa were leaving, Kyle and Courtney arrived.  They drove all the way from Simpsonville to meet Collin.  

• Courtney loved holding me.  Kyle took Philip to get some items we needed from Wal-Mart for Collin. 
• Visitors: Grammy, Papa, Grandma, Kyle, and Courtney

Monday:

• We were on our own Sunday night until Monday afternoon.  Collin was great. 
• Ma came back to stay with us for the week on Monday afternoon.
• Visitors: Ma

Tuesday

• I was itching to get out of the house for a little while.  We went to Wal-Mart and the outlets.  Collin was still asleep so we decided to go to the Mexican restaurant.  He slept until we got back home!
• Our night was not as good as others had been.  Collin woke up around 2:00 and ate.  He was fussy for a few hours and we still don't really know why.  This was not like him.  :(
• Visitors: Ma, Kasie, and Brayden

Wednesday

• We stayed around the house.  Ma watched Collin so that we could get some sleep.  :)

• Aunt Charlene, Kendall, and Kyle came to visit in the afternoon. 

• Visitors: Ma, Charlene, Kendall, Kyle

Thursday

•  Ma left to go back home for a substitute job tomorrow.
• Grandpa (no chosen name yet) and Papa came to visit Collin.  They couldn't believe how alert he was.  We went to KFC to pick up lunch and Papa was amazed that he slept the whole time in the car. 

• Visitors: Ma, Grandpa, and Papa

Friday

• Collin had his 1 week checkup at the pediatrician.  We saw Mrs. Shannon.  He weighed 8 pounds, 3 ounces (50th percentile) and was 21.65 inches long (90th percentile).  He was in the 13th percentile for head circumference.  They said that he had gained a good bit of weight and that he is a happy baby.  He stayed awake from before we left home until after his appointment.  He was good through the whole thing but started to cry near the end.  We then ran into Ingles to pick up a few items while Collin was asleep.   
• Aunt Anna came back to stay the weekend with us.  She brought us some Cinnamon Crunch and other bagels from Panera! 
• Visitors: Anna
