We're Home!

We were allowed to come home from the hospital Sunday. I can't believe they actually let us keep this little guy. I kept waiting for "his parents" to come and take him away from me and say, "thanks for baby sitting." It never happened thank God.

The past three days have really (knock on wood) gone pretty smooth. This is all subject to change of course but I think for the most part we're pretty lucky to have had such a good start. We might actually be entitled to some smoothness considering the last few months of pregnancy became a little rocky to say the least.

Aedan is sleeping well through the night. We've only had to get up two-three times for feedings or to ease a nervous momma's mind that he's ok in his big boy bed. I don't think the nervous feeling will really ever leave even when he's 32 years old and about to have his own children.

Today was our first pediatrician appointment and he's almost back to his birthweight! We left the hospital with him weighing 8.4 - he had lost 10 ounces. Now, he's back up to 8.12 with only 2 more ounces to go. Apparently even outside of my belly I'm still able to feed him quite well!!

Pat's been wonderful and amazes me every day with how great he is with Aedan. I never doubted it but it's still a really great thing to see just when you thought you've seen it all.
