Hotel Living

We are still hanging out at our hotel room in Salt Lake City.  We are very excited to be able to go home and settle into a routine there and to just simply get out of hotel living with an infant.  Ike is doing really well.  He does have a wound on his head from Delivery but we are monitoring it closely and he is on some meds so hopefully that will heal soon.  His umbilical cord fell off last night, and we were happy to see that go.

The grandparents have left, but they loved their time with the new grand baby.  We will be seeing them all again very soon.  We are also excited to introduce Ike to the rest of the family when we get back home

Ike is on a pretty good schedule and has been a really easy baby so far.  In the hospital he was a terrible eater and they were really worried about him not eating and spitting up everything he did eat.  When we got to the hotel I was able to start him on breast milk (I have an amazing friend who is pumping milk for Isaac) and he is much happier and now eats every two and half to three hours per his request.  In the hospital we would have to try and make him eat every four hours.  At night Ike is sleeping very well in his bassinet and just wakes up every three hours to eat. 

Denny and I are somewhat tired but feeling pretty good and loving every minute we spend with Ike.  Right now it is a race to see who gets to change his diaper, feed him, or just cuddle with him.
