Well, I thought that I would try to post each day a little bit more to the story, but that was a silly idea (to think I would get to it!)... So I am sitting down for a few minutes while everything else is being taken care of by other people and Baby is with his daddy...
Monday night was interesting! Everything was going along nicely but around 2am, Mr. Oz received a call from work--he had to go do snow removal the first night his son was home! Yuck! So, off he went and I spent the rest of the evening with Baby just in bed with me. Easier that way, and less lonely. Mr. Oz came home about 8:30 am and we left shortly thereafter to go to the pediatrician. Unfortunately, we were stuck in that little teeny-tiny room with Spiderman and Baby for almost an hour! They were really busy! Apologies accepted, the appointment went well. Everything looks good, minus the bruised face... which as of today appears to be completely gone, except for bloodshot eyes (which will also go away soon). After our appointment we swung by Walmart for Mr. Oz to run in and grab a few things we realized we needed. We spent the day, quietly, at home. Grandmom and Auntie stopped by for awhile to visit. Tuesday night wasn't as good as the first night--Baby wouldn't go to sleep until midnight. But after that things went better. I think he just needed some more time to get better and better at nursing, etc. We're still working on it, of course, but it keeps improving each time. Wednesday morning was a busy one. Errands and last minute gift wrapping. We went to Auntie's house for Christmas Eve. Lots of food and fellowship. A bit of watching ELF (one of my favs) and then back home again.
This morning was really nice! We got up around 7:30am and went out to open gifts just us, the four Shaws. Baby was wide awake the whole time. Spiderman enjoyed opening his gifts for Baby and of course opening gifts for himself as well! After that we prepared for the family to arrive. Followed by a yummy breakfast of sausage gravy and eggs (Thanks, Mr. Oz!), sweet rolls (Thanks, Grandmom!) we opened more gifts...
Grandmom and Grandpop spent the rest of the day with us and we watched basketball on TV, played a game of Cootie, ate dinner (ham, cheesy potatoes, broccoli, 3-bumped rolls) and had some pie and ice cream. Very low-key and quiet. Very different from normal, but very enjoyable!
How was your Christmas?

So glad you were able to update.
I'm thinking how cool that you've been home for these first few days of Baby's life. Much better than being in a hospital room!
