Already one week old

I have been wanting to write in this blog for what seems like ages now and could not for several reasons. One reason is my laptop hit the dust; finally got a new one yesterday, so now I can hopefully get back on track.  I'm currently up right now pumping milk to feed you.  I'll tell why it's this and not straight from the breast in a different 'catch-up' post.  The crazy thing to me right now is that you are already a week old!  You were born on Saturday the 24th of September, and here we are on Sunday the 2nd of October.  It was a very intense week, as you shall soon read all about.  For this post, I'll just talk about how yesterday went.
You were at the hospital to begin the day; you'd been there two nights due to elevated bilirubin.  We were anxious to find out if you would be able to come home with us, so we went straight over there after breakfast.  Happy news awaited us: your level was down to 8 and you were doing well, so it was just a matter of the formalities of paperwork and you'd go home.  They told us this would take a few hours, so daddy and uncle Kevin decided to go downtown to grab some authentic Chicago deep dish pizza and bring it back for us for lunch.  This would normally have taken about an  hour and half or so.  Unfortunately, there was construction everywhere, making downtown a mess and hard to get around.  They ended up taking almost an extra hour bwecause of this.  Meanwhile, I waited with you at the hospital.  Held you, fed you, talked to you, changed your diapers--all the usual things.  Finally, daddy showed up, we put you in the car seat (you don't like this process much) and we went home!
At home, we all had lunch, of course--too bad you can't have pizza yet, because it was delicious!  After that, Nana Linda babysat you while daddy and I went out to get me a new laptop.  Found one at Fry's, returned home, back to enjoy being there as a family again :)  Nana Linda made dinner for us (bourbon salmon--yum!), we watched some TV (Weird Al concert), and decided it was time to give you your first bath.  Oh wasn't that a production!  You were quite displeased through most of it; you got back at us by peeing all over the towel and wall at the end lol.  After that, Nana Linda wanted some Anne Geddes-style pix of you, so we did that, too.
We needed to run to Walgreens really quick for a couple of things, so Nana Linda took charge of getting you settled down to sleep and babysit you one last time.  Upon return, daddy and I took a shower, fed you, then it was bed for all of us.  You slept through the night very well, only waking up for feedings and diaper changes.  It was a good day for your 1 week birthday!  Upcoming posts will cover what happened prior to that...
