A Day Full of Firsts

Where to start!? We had a very big day today...

1) Cohen breastfed like a champ

2)We got our 2nd ever family picture taken

3) Cohen got to meet his cousin Michelle who got to come see him at the hospital!

4) Cohen took his first bottle! (only 20 mL, but still!)

5) Cohen's picture taking nurse was back so he had a mini photo session and my sister Karen took some cute ones too

6) My aunties threw me a baby shower! We played fun games, opened presents and I got to see lots of my family that I haven't seen in awhile. Thanks for coming everybody!

5) And...WE WENT OUTSIDE!!!!!!!!!!!!! That's right! I asked his Dr in rounds if he could go on a little field trip and he said yes. I practically jumped up and down and hugged the Dr, but I held myself back. So, we bundled him up, hooked him up to some portable oxygen and took him down to the main hospital (it's a weekend and there are hardly any people around and I just covered him up when we passed people). He had his first elevator ride, his first leaving of the unit, and his very first breath of fresh outside air. We drove him out the exit and back in the entrance. It was kind of cold out so we just went out real quick and back in. And Cohen loved it. He slept the whole time :) It's possible that I might have loved it more.

6) This was one of the best days I have had in a long time

7) PICTURES: (none taken by me!)
