A couple of my favorite first pictures:
Our first doctor appointment:
We had our first appointment with our pediatrician on Tuesday. After asking around and getting referrals we decided to go with Dr. Pflieger at Rockwall Pediatrics. We LOVED him and all of his staff. From the moment we walked in the door, everyone was so welcoming. Everyone! Because they didn't have a room for us right away, they immediately put us in his office to wait. We thought that was so nice! Then, when we got to the room his nurse came in and spent about 15-20 minutes with us discussing things we may be experiencing the first couple of weeks. Then, the doctor visit! He was wonderful! Hayden was perfect! He weighed 6 lbs, 15 oz. gaining 3 oz. since leaving the hospital on Sunday. YEA! What a great Christian and friendly atmosphere and we feel so lucky we have found him!
Waiting to see the doctor...
After the check-up...
The Swing:
Hayden loves his swing! I mean loves it!!! He spends a lot of his time in it these days! We had originally picked out a different swing and we are so glad we didn't get it! This swing is so soft and changes directions which he loves!
Our First Bath:
Our first bath was quite an adventure! Poor baby cried through the whole thing! Then, I read somewhere to keep a towel on them and uncover as you go. Wow, did this make a difference! He liked it much better!
Tummy Time:
I am so amazed at his strength already. He is holding his head up and turning it side to side when he is on your shoulder. And, he does very well with tummy time on the floor too! When we lay him on the boppy he uses legs to push his bottom up in the air. He is one strong boy!
Our first ride to look for deer and in the sling:
Yesterday we decided to take the bumpy ride in the pasture to go look for deer. He did great! Jeff and I did this often when I was pregnant, so I guess this was no big deal for him. Like a true country boy, he just had a diaper on with a blanket and he slept through it all!
Then, we went for a walk. We decided to try out the new sling. He loved it too! He was all cozy and slept the entire time!
Diaper Changes:
Ok, boy moms, I know you feel our pain! I seriously think the first few days at home, that 8 out of 10 times, Hayden either sprayed himself, the wall, the changing table or us. It was like a three ring circus! The first time it happened, it seriously went straight in his face and mouth. Jeff and I were almost in tears and felt so bad it happened! Of course, a couple minutes later, Hayden had forgotten about it, but we felt terrible! Luckily, we have figured out a few tricks to help us out with this!

Isn't it a GREAT time of learning that NO ONE can prepare you for!!! We use Dr. Chinn at Rockwall Pediatrics, I switched Kaden to her for our two month well check and shots, and we now use her only. WE LOVE it there! We have experienced long waits to see the dr but, it is worth it because they are very thorough and loving with the babies. Maybe we'll run into ya'll some day at the doctors office..lol! Glad ya'll are having fun, Love ya!
There are so many FIRSTS that you'll enjoy! Ahhh I remember those days of spraying all over the place. LOL
I see Jeff really likes my pillow. I've noticed the pillow case in many of the backgrounds! Awesome! Keep it!! I'll have a place in history for sure...and pictures to prove it!
