Firsts

Today was a day of firsts for Miss Harper and for our new little family of 5 (including Abby, of course). Below are the pictures of our “firsts” today as well as a picture of our first outing as a family of 5- a walk around the block (that took place yesterday, but who’s counting?)

 

Harper’s first trip to the doctor was our first car ride for all 4 of us and things went well; no major melt downs and, in fact, we had two kids who then proceeded to sleep through most of the other firsts of the day.

Harper looked great; we go back next week for a weight check on the little one and the doctor was nice enough to look at Jack while we were there. He has a little heat rash from us holding him for 30 min after his feeding every time he eats. He falls asleep on us in those 30 min and sweats. The doctor agreed to refer us for a swallow study for Jack in hopes that we can get his tummy troubles under control and not have to hold him 30 min after he eats every time (8 times a day).

So, here are the other firsts that we encountered today:

-First car ride the 4 of us

-Harper’s first trip to the doctor

-First public outing to Target

-First trip to the gym- shout out to the Crossfitters doing the Open

-First time to be cooed over by strangers (not in the NICU)

-First time to both fall asleep on mom

-And our first walk picture from yesterday

 

 

-Oh, and the first time in 93 days that a Collett did not go to Plano Presby Hospital

We are ready for the many more firsts to come!
