Week 1 - 02/07/08 to 02/13/08

02.12.08

Today (Wednesday) marks my one week birthday, and what a week it's been! Daddy changed his first diaper ever on Wednesday night, lots of friends came to visit us at the hospital and I got lots of beautiful flowers to spruce up the hospital room on Thursday, and we were discharged to go home on Friday morning!

My first Chinese New Year (and hong bao)

Po-Po and Ye-Ye stayed until Sunday cooking yummy food for Mommy and forcing her to lie down even though she kept insisting she feels great. I was very lucky because they didn't want to put me down at all!

I went to my check-up with Dr. Frank on Monday to see how I've been doing since being discharged from the hospital. All babies lose weight after they're born, and when I was discharged, I weighed 6 lb 6 oz (down from 6 lb 13 oz). By my appointment 3 days later, I've already gained back 4 oz, and the doctor also confirmed that I'm not jaundiced.

Quiet time with Daddy

Now it's just me, Mommy, and Daddy. Don't worry, they're doing just fine. Daddy's done an incredible job catering to Mommy, Mommy's feeding me when I want to, and they're both changing, holding, and loving me lots!

Daddy's Mommy and Daddy -- Nai-Nai and Gong-Gong (names TBD soon) -- arrive tommorrow or Friday and will be here for a week. Daddy's little brother -- George Shu-Shu -- and his girlfriend Christina are also coming to visit this weekend, so we'll make sure we take lots of pictures to share!
