There's no way that I can catch up on everything that has gone on in the past 10 days, but I'll try to recap a little bit.
We spent Thanksgiving Day in the hospital. We watched the parade. Watched football. Then Grandma and Grandpa Thatcher and Aunt Kendra came to visit! They fell in love right away.
Our first family photo. I got a rockin' pink hospital gown.
On Friday we were discharged to go home. We could have stayed until the evening , but we asked to leave as soon as possible. We got to leave around 10:30. Daniel was not thrilled about getting his clothes changed. (He hates to be naked!)
He also was not a fan of his car seat. The car seat was on my lap as they wheeled me down to the car. He screamed from our room, down the hallway, down the elevator, through the lobby and then promptly fell asleep until we got home.
Home sweet home!
Mom, dad and Kendra stayed until Sunday morning. They brought our Christmas gifts and were nice enough to put the tree up so the gifts had a place to go. One week later and my tree is still not decorated and I haven't had the energy to get out any decorations yet.
Mom made Thanksgiving dinner on Friday night. So glad I didn't miss out on turkey and apple pie!
It was great having them visit!
Jacob took off of work through Wednesday so we flew solo on Sunday and Monday. On Monday he went to his first doctor's appointment. Remember how I said he doesn't like to be naked? Well...
Daddy loves his baby boy!
Tuesday Grandma and Grandpa Elam came. They also immediately fell in love!
Grandpa went home that evening and Grandma stayed until Thursday morning. It was nice having an extra set of hands on Wednesday. We ate pizza the night before and I don't think Daniel enjoyed the pepperoni. I won't be eating that again! He cried in pain almost the entire day with the exception of a nap in the middle of the day on my lap.
Thursday I was on my own for the first time and then again on Friday. The days flew by quickly. Yesterday I had to go to the hospital for a lab test and we made our first trip, just the 2 of us. Of course it's only a couple of miles away, but he did great!
Today he was kind enough to take and nap and let Jacob have a bit of quality time that we've been lacking. It felt SO nice to snuggle up with him on the couch. I ended up napping on him while he watched basketball. It was lovely.
I have so much more to write...but Daniel is crying and probably wants to eat AGAIN! This kiddo is like his daddy. Always hungry, and I know he's getting plenty!
I will say that I LOVE being a mommy and I am so completely in love with both of the boys in my life!
It's so nice to read an update from you! You are doing great and having two guys to love, well it's just get's better and better! Love the pictures!!! You look wonderful by the way! Love and hugs to you, Momma
