We got home from the hospital Tuesday afternoon and were very ready to leave. Monday night wasn't very fun but his billirubin levels came down, so we were able to go home. We were definitely ready to leave. Papa Lee helped us leave and Grandma and Grandpa were at home to greet us. Zig was happy to see us, especially Katie.
We brought Sam in the house in the car seat and set him down on the table. Zig didn't even notice anything was different. It was only until Sam started making sounds that Zig noticed. He sniffed around Sam and was very curious. Zig "feels" with his pointy nose so it was natural for him to touch Sam's head. We're trying to teach Zig to be gentle. Zig's a very licky dog and of course he wanted to sample the new addition with a few licks on his hands and feet. Overall, Zig was well behaved; we were pleasently surprised.
Katie's still swollen and hurting, but was able to walk down the driveway and up the two steps into the house. She'll be drugged up on pain medications for a few more days. The hospital staff told us that she should feel better within two weeks. Two weeks! Hopefully by next week she'll be able to do more by herself. She still won't be able to lift anything heavier than Sam and can't drive. I'll be taking some days off of work to stay home and take care of her and Sam.
Grandma and Grandpa cooked us up a pot of soup for dinner and left later in the afternoon. They had been in town for a week and a half waiting for the pot to boil. The pot finally did and they needed to get home.
Mama Lee flew in tonight to see Sam. She wasn't able to be at the delivery and luckily was able to come in to see us. I'm sure she was happy to see her baby and the new baby.
