Here are a few pics and a video of Braxton's first few days home. So far it's been 4 nights. The first 2 were pretty easy, the 3rd was absolute hell (he screamed constantly except when held, wouldn't sleep, Laura and I each took a 3 hour shift holding him on the chair, neither of us slept much, etc), and the 4th was easy (our alarm woke us up every 3 hours to feed him and he went right back to sleep each time effortlessly). Hopefully the rest of the nights are like night 4.
We took him to the pediatrician today and all is good. We were told that we don't have to wake him every 3 hours to feed, just feed him when he wakes up, and that he's almost back to his weight birth (7 lbs, 15 oz now, was 8 lbs, 1 oz). It usually takes longer than this to get back there. He will probably be having plastic surgery in a few months to get rid of a hanging skin tag thing by one of his ears. They first have to make sure it's only skin and not ligaments too, but that's the only issue right now.
