As expected, day one for Shaun was a busy day for the entire family. Lots of visitors, family and friends. We have plenty of ballons to bring home now. I imagine they will float around my ceiling at home for some time, giving Shaun something to watch.
I missed a couple of details in my last post because of its briefness: Shaun was 5lbs. 13.3 oz. at birth and the official date and time was 4/15 at 5:41pm. You’ll notice the last post is set to his official birth time, I figured this was woth immortilizing on this blog.
Mom made a decision yesterday to try breat feeding. Originally we were going to bottle feed because mom thought she would be taking drugs (for her diabetes) that would interfere with breast feeding, but that turns out to be false. Shaun made his first attempts early in the day, but they were difficult. By evening he was starting to be a pro, so I suspect the breast feeding will go well.
We got a bunch more pictures as well. When I find some time I will post them up in the photo gallery. Right now though I have only a few minutes to post this update while I wait for the laundry to finish.
