Hospital & Home

We sure loved our snuggly little newborn at the hospital. Gosh, that newborn stage flies by!
Big brother stopped by after preschool and got lots of Noah time as well!
This was our attempt at brother pictures with their matching shirts. They were clearly enthusiastic about this! Ha!


So sweet.



He did have a hard time keeping his temperature up. That meant extra time in the nursery under the warmers and extra time on my chest. We also kept his footie pajamas on over his hospital shirt. This also meant an extra day at the hospital, because the pediatrician wasn't comfortable doing his circumcision while he struggled with his temperature.
Luke and Jack made some pictures for Noah.
Oh my word. Look at this sweet baby:
Luke learned the phrase, "Give him some space" very quickly.

Then, on Friday, 11-11-11, we were ready to head home. I'm sure glad that we didn't have him on 11-11-11, although it would have been a cool birthday. There were apparently an insane amount of planned c-sections that day. The hospital was packed, nursery was too busy, and all of the nurses were scrambling. It was perfect timing to get out of there.

Greg went home to grab Luke so that he could come with us while Jack napped at home. Here is our sweet snuggly boy ready to be home!



Greg brought the car up, then took this picture from outside:
Sweet Luke was eager to help!
All buckled in!



After a quick stop at Starbucks, we were home! Remember when I said that they gave me extra fluids? Can you tell here? I have never been so swollen. Everywhere. It took at least a week to look somewhat normal.
Macie met the newest baby. I'm sure she was thrilled.
Nana was anxious to hold little Noah. They got lots of cuddle time that day. So sweet.
And, of course, Luke had to be right by him ALL. DAY. LONG.
