We're home, finally. We have enjoyed our first 24 hours together as a family of five.
It has been an awesome, albiet tiring, day!
Nate & I arrived home last night around 10 PM, changed, fed, and basically went to bed. He slept in 2-3 hour stretches all night, and I felt like a new person in the morning. It's amazing what sleeping in your own bed will do for you!
The big boys woke around 7:30 AM, and greeted baby brother by leaning over his bassinet, poking & prodding him, and giving him hugs and kisses. It was quite the reunion for all of us!
The day went relatively smoothly. We are all exhausted, so there were naps all around ~ along with a low-key, quiet day.
Highlights of the day: breakfast of cinnoman rolls, Jacob asking to hold Nathaniel multiple times, Wyatt asking, "where did the baby go?" when he couldn't immediately see Nate, me surviving alone for 2.5 hours during lunch & getting down for naps while Tim ran errands, having a family dinner together (Nate in his bouncy on the table!) of home-cooked rather than hospital food, and saying our evening prayers together as a family of 5.
Now it's off to get ready for bed myself (9 PM, quite the record) - the adrenaline rush is coming to an end, and the (hospital) sleep deprivation is starting to catch up to me!
