Happy to be home!

So
it was really funny, but little Andrew smiles in his sleep, and just
randomly… as we were leaving the hospital Saturday (a day earlier
because mommy is tough and stubborn), he was all wrapped up in his car
seat and just as we were snapping pics he had a big grin on his face.
Like YAY we’re going home! haha. The picture says it all!
Things
are going really well. Breastfeeding is going great and he sleeps well.
Night time he wakes up to eat every 2-3 hrs but that’s not so bad
because as soon as he’s done he’s asleep again.

Right now he
looks pretty "tan" but don’t mistake the complexion for having olive
skin like his Daddy. He actually is a lot more fair, but he is a bit
jaundice right now. Nothing major, they said to just keep making sure
he’s peeing a lot and to breastfeed him near the window for natural
light and hopefully it will improve with time. You can kind of see the
difference in the picture below of his pinkish cute little hands by his
face. Nonetheless he’s adorable and precious and around here we can’t
stop staring at him!

Even
ME is in awe of her little brother Drew. And she is great, gentle and
loving towards him. Truly amazing. A fellow online friend
mentioned how watching your child with your new baby ages them at that
very moment- and she is so right. ME seems so much older, so much
bigger. It’s sad that she’s not my little peanut anymore, but it’s
amazing and wonderful to see her interact with my new little peanut.
There’s nothing like watching your children bond together- truly
amazing!

Sunday we had some friends/family come to visit. It
was fun and enjoyable to welcome Drew into the family. I of course
decided to use ME’s thanksgiving dress she was supposed to wear and
never got to. We didn’t have turkey on Sunday, but some of us had
turkey sandwhiches as we ordered deli-food! haha.
The nice part is we got a couple shots of our new little family 🙂

 

Yea I know I look tired, but hey I just had a baby!!!!
On that note, I’m still recovering from the c-section and busy with the kids- but my goal is still to get pics up by the end of the month as there are many too-cute pics to be seen!

Thank you for all the comments that some of you have posted, and your kind notes, emails and thoughts. 🙂
