We have been home since Wednesday afternoon and things are going pretty smooth. Drew has been adjusting well even though we weren't too sure how he would be when he told Harrison to "go back in Mommy's belly" while he was visiting us at the hospital. I truly believe that the only reason he said that was because he needs to have everything in its place. He has been so loving to his baby brother and we couldn't be more proud of our 'big boy'.Harrison has been to a lot of the usual places in his first few days of life. The weather has been beautiful, so we all took a walk on Thursday afternoon. On Friday he came along with us to the playground and then after his doctors appointment, he joined me at Roche Bros. I am a little less nervous of germs this time around, mainly because I have my own little germ factory right here at home...however, that doesn't mean that I appreciate the old ladies at the grocery store sticking their heads into his seat.
Our pediatrician appointment went very well. Harrison is just about back to his birth weight. He really didn't loose much in the first place. He was 7lbs 4oz when we left the hospital and that is a loss of less than 10% of his total weight.
We are really enjoying the family time at home. Andy and I could both use a little more sleep, but we are actually doing alright. Maybe we are still running on adrenaline, but I think it is much easier to cope with a lack of sleep the second time around.
We are so happy to finally be home as a family of four!

Yeah! Everything looks like it is going well!
Here is my grocery store hint...fold the canopy top of the car seat all the way up and forward so that his body is hidden (mine has a little clear window that i could still peek through). i found that when i did that, curious old ladies would give a quick glance and then just walk right past me. or, do like the celebrity moms do and put a gauzy burp cloth over the seat!
