For the next 2 weeks, we pretty much stayed home and laid low. Since I had a scheduled c-section, we were able to stock up on groceries and most of what we would need to get through for a few weeks. My parents were in town for a few days after we got out of the hospital and they took me out to get the baby essentials that we would need to hunker down.
Most of my time was spent feeding Sam and trying to sleep when she slept. She had her nights and days mixed up so I spent most of the night awake feeding her and slept a lot during the day. Kirk took care of Sam when she wasn't eating and worked on some small projects around the house. We had friends over for a BBQ one night to celebrate my first beer in 9 months. For the record, the first beer was a special homebrew that Kirk had made called "Baby Wheat". He actually had just finished brewing it when we found out that I was pregnant so it had 9 months to ripen. It was awesome!
One of the big things we were worried about was introducing Sam to Rosco. He's our first baby and we didn't want to have to get rid of Sam if they didn't get along (j/k - please don't report me to child services...)
As you can see from these pictures, it wasn't a problem at all. Rosco loves his little sister! If she's crying, he stays right next to her and will lick her feet until mom or dad comes over to help her. When we take her into the nursery to change her diaper, he comes along and lays on the rug by the changing table to watch us. It really is the cutest thing ever!
This, however, is not the cutest thing ever. We call this Sam's "stink-face" which she likes to bust out right before a big yell. Kirk was a little worried when we first brought her home because she was such a quiet baby. He got over that quickly once she started to spend more time awake and make much, much more noise! Overall, she's still a pretty great baby and generally only cries when she's hungry, wet, tired or pooping/farting (which happens A LOT!)
