First Days at Home

We've been home for a two days now and there's two words to describe how we feel -- Happy and Tired. We're having a lot of fun enjoying Garrett. He is so cute. I love all his expressions and the movements and noises he makes. I even have fun changing his diaper. Its a surprise every time.


I guess every parent has a wild diaper changing story. I haven't changed too many diapers yet, but already I have a few stories. Today he was laying on the changing table which is attached to the bassinet about 2 feet from our bed. I lifted up his legs to wipe his bottom and he wasn't done pooping. He let out a squirt that arched all the way to the bed like someone had stepped on a tube of toothpaste. It was a awesome mess and I couldn't stop laughing.

We're catching naps in between feedings so we're pretty tired. We had a lot of visitors yesterday and today. We're very grateful to several people who brought food dishes which will help us out a lot next week. Our refrigerator is overflowing.

In these pictures he is so pretty he looks fake...like a marzipan baby only bigger.

Today Abigail met Garret for the first time. She is still a little nervous around him, especially when he is crying or when we are carrying him around. She is very very protective and a little bit jealous but we're giving her lots of love too so she knows she's not being replaced.
