Ok, so we aren't going to celebrate every date that has a memory from those first few weeks but this one is a special one. As many of you know, they kept me at the hospital for 5 days after Nate was born to make sure I was ok, stable, and to lower my blood pressure. That meant I couldn't see Nate until the 15th...5 days after he was born! Not a good time for me once the drugs wore off and I started to realize what was going on :) Anyways, I didn't even remember videos being taken when I got to meet Nate but here is one of them from a the 15th a year ago when I first met him on the outside. Joe was nice enough to wait and let me be the first one to hold him....thanks Joey!
I've been trying to upload the one where the nurse hands him to me because you can see just how tiny he was but it won't work. Anyways, too much time I've spent looking at old pics :)
Today was his check up....a traumatizing one, more for Joe and I. I had to football hold him down while they gave him the chicken pox vaccine, MMR, and Hep A. The doc said they burn going in and he definitely silent screamed for a while. Then he had to have a finger prick to check hemoglobin. I made Joe hold him for that one! Once we got home he was fine, but he was not happy while we were there! Nate weighs in at 22 pounds and 30.5 inches. His weight is 35th percent and height was 70th. The doctor was happy with everything and he's doing great!
