Our photographer came to the hospital and did a little photo session with us. What was supposed to take 15-20 minutes took 1 hour and 15 minutes; that was stressful for this new momma. Additionally one nurse came in later with her smart phone and started posing Caleb all awkwardly for a picture for their billboard. He cried both occasions and it was very hard for this momma to console him.
My aunt stopped by with a gift and got to visit with me. It actually was perfect timing because Chris left to go get some things we needed from home. Afterward, the nurses helped us with some last minute questions and showed me how to use my pump. We were escorted out to the car and the weather was simply amazing. It was probably the warmest day of the year and just simply gorgeous out. I'd say it was 70 degrees out and super sunny. We loaded our newborn in the car for the first time and I just felt very leery of every car as we took the short 10 minute drive home.

| Just a few hours ago, this little big guy was inside me.I don't know how he fit in there. He crosses my entire lap! 21 inches of sweetness!! |
Jessi, Elli and her parents made a special delivery of a sweet swing that we've used many times since they brought it. He passes out pretty easily in it!
It was great for me being home but I felt bad for Chris who now had to play nurse for me including helping me get up and down; helping me in the bathroom and making sure I took my medicine but not too soon. (I later called him the medicine Nazi.)
The first night was very rough. My little man who formerly latched well was not only not latching but screaming violently instead. My mom stayed calm through the whole process. She let me get sleep and rest and managed to keep little guy "at bay" for a few hours at a time until he needed to be nursed.
