Day 3- Going Home/First Night Home

On day 3 we woke up and were ready to go home! We woke up at 8:00 and started loading everything up in the car! Your daddy did it all by himself and trust me everyone bought you so many presents it took him about four trips to the car. He brought up your car seat so we could strap you in. While we were waiting on the doctors to come check us out, I changed you into your going home outfit! Of course it was cream and white stripes (gender neutral), white fleece pants, and a cream coat with little bear ears! Everything swallowed you! Especially your knitted beanie. You are so tiny!

When it came time to leave I put you in the car seat and all the nurses came to check on us because you were screaming as loud as you could, and they were worried. You did not like being strapped in that big ol' thing! Your poor little arms stuck straight up because of your coat, but it was the beginning of January you needed a coat!

Once we were ready to go they wheeled you and me in a wheel chair down to the Tahoe. The valet made sure Dad put the car seat in correctly and off we went! We were officially on our own. Out in the world with a new perspective. Your dad was scared to even go the speed limit! But I don't blame him. We have a special cargo on board now. We came home and thought, "okay... NOW what?" We got you a blanket and laid you on the couch and began to unpack all of your countless/endless presents. We had to run three loads of laundry that day just for your stuff alone.

 

Before we knew it, it was bedtime! We thought what do we need to do? Bathe you? Lay you down? Feed you before... after? We put you in these jammies and you would pull your legs up and couldn't get you feet back in the leg part so we changed you again, which you weren't happy about.

 So we just hung out and decided the day had been long enough, so we all crawled into bed together for the first time.

That night I let you just sleep on my chest. I didn't sleep one wink! I stayed up and cried. I was overwhelmed by how perfect you were, I rubbed my fingers through you hair, traced over face, and kissed you until I couldn't anymore! I smelled the top of your head at least a hundred times. 

I just can't get enough!
