Zach's first week

We had a good stay at the hospital, short and to the point. We left on Sunday at 5:00, so we were only there for one night. While at the hospital we had a few visitors from Rexburg, my brother Corey, his wife Daymi, and two of their three children. It was good to see them and introduce them to Zachary.

Kimball and Brandon came twice to the hospital to see their little brother. They were very excited to see him, and wanted to watch and hold him. We were very happy with their reaction to Zach's arrival.
My mom was very gracious to make us a few meals in our first week with Zach. When we got home on Sunday night, she met us at home soon after with a nice hot pot roast! Yummo! We didn't get a lot of sleep those first few nights, but hey, we knew that would happen. Kimball and Brandon went back to Rexburg with Corey and Daymi for a whole week, so that made the lack of sleep manageable. We missed our boys but were grateful for the time that we had to adjust to life with a newborn again, to have that time to get to know our little Zach.

We spent Monday at home relaxing, and then went to see his doctor, Dr. West, that evening. Tuesday was the same story, except it didn't end so happily for Zach. Zach had his circumcision performed at the Dr's office on Tuesday evening, and he was in pain for about 2 hours afterwards. He wore himself out pretty good in screaming, and slept pretty well for a number of hours.

We spent lots of time admiring our son, so grateful to have him in our family and to get to know him. He is a good baby, and is calm for 23 hours of the day. Right after dinner between 7-8 he gets really bad gas, but only at this time of day. Minor colic issues, but other than that he sleeps like soundly, eats soundly, and keeps all his food down.

We had some more visitors on Tuesday, from Idaho Falls. My grandparents came down to see our new addition, and we had a good visit with them. It is always good to see my dear grandparents, it is indeed a great blessing to have them as close as we do.
Mor-mor is in love with this little guy, and would hold him all day long if she could! We are so blessed to have her living in Pocatello, it was a great experience to have her in the labor/delivery and to see her interact with Zach in these few weeks since he was born. She has so much on her plate already and yet she was making meals for us and inviting us over to her place, watching the boys so we could go on a date to see Harry Potter.... what an angel she is!

All things considered our first week was amazing, and we are very proud parents of 3 handsome boys!
