Home At Last

Friday morning arrived at last. I had a good breakfast and waited for someone to come remove my staples. 

When they did come, there was some concern as to whether the incision was ready. This was a bit disappointing because that was the main reason I had stayed an extra day. But after getting a second opinion, they decided it was just fine. Actually removing them was another matter. They are supposed to just come right out with very little pain. Not the case with 3/4 of them. It sounds like a bunch of them bent when they went in. So getting them out was super unpleasant. But at last it was done and we were free to go!

This show exactly how he feels about his car seat. Two months later its still true. Unless he has fallen asleep in it, he is not a fan. I love those twig legs and long feet.

Following discharge we went to pick up my medication from the pharmacy where some lady gave Ryan a hard time for being out in public with a newborn already. Well, we literally just left the hospital. Haha. Mom just needs her medication!

When we got home, we found Grandma, Devry and Dodger waiting in the front yard, very excited to see us. 

Dodger was the most excited of all. :) He was full of kisses! This is exactly how he has responded with the other two. It's actually a challenge to keep him away at first!

Loving brother - and brother just not having it. Haha! Oh, and can I just saw how strange/awesome it is to come home from the hospital in shorts and short sleeves?! (Everyone else too!)

Love this...

Saturday morning we had Darren's first pediatric checkup. 

He left the hospital at 6 lbs 7 oz. And the next day during his check up he was up to 6 lbs 8 oz. Well done buddy! Keep up the good eating. 

The car ride home was super long - bad traffic on a Saturday afternoon, but we survived! 

I seriously love how alert his is. He has great facial expressions. :) 

So good to be home!
