Doing great!

Ethan is now 4.5 days old! He is just such a sweet baby. He barely makes a sound except when he's hungry and when he has the hiccups. :) He's just so content all day. At night he gets a little fussier, but once he's in our arms he calms down immediately. Kona has responded well to him too. She's getting just as much affection from Craig and I as before Ethan was here, but we both think Kona is jealous about not getting time with the baby for herself! She's constantly curious about him and starts to cry/whine when he cries. She nudges him with her nose when he's in our arms and wants to lick him all over. We let her lick his feet and legs but try to keep her away from his face. We think she's a big fan.

We're definitely not getting as much sleep these days, but at least 4-5 hours/night. Ethan seems to be hungrier at night than during the day so I have to get up more often. Craig is great about getting up with him too. I'm so lucky to have such an involved husband and sweet baby. I'm on top of the world right now!

We were released from the hopsital on Thursday around 2pm. It was so nice to be home. The next day, we took Ethan to his first pediatrician appointment. It went very well. He's only lost 4 ounces and is almost clear of his mild jaundice. Doctor said to take him outside this weekend and keep the blinds open in the house and he should be good as new by Monday. We gave him his first bath last night. He wasn't a big fan, but we figured he wouldn't be since he doesn't like to be naked. :) But gosh, there's nothing better than the smell of baby shampoo!

Overall, everything is going very well and we couldn't be happier. Thank you all for all your sweet comments and calls checking in. We love you all and we'll keep posting pictures soon.
