Bringing Jack Home

There are no words for the feelings Chris and I felt, finally' getting to take our baby boy home.

Friday:
One of the NICU Doctors called me mid Friday morning, introduced herself and simply stated, "How would you like it if you could bring your baby home later this afternoon?" I first asked her if she was joking and then described how very much I would! I called Chris he booked it home from work and we went to the hospital to pick up our boy. We went through about a 5 hour discharge and FINALLY left the hospital with our Jack in hand. By the time we got home it was well past 6PM so we ordered pizza cuddled our little boy and kept our little secret to ourselves and enjoyed the night with just our little family of three. (We even gave Jack his VERY first bath!)

All ready to go!


What's going on mom and dad?

Saturday:

We got some very good sleep in-between feedings Friday night and woke up very rested and still a bit wired from all the excitement. THEN at around Noon we headed up to Grandma and Grandpa Kenner's house for the Easter party with all of Chris' family. Everybody was EXTREMELY surprised and let out a big cheer when they saw Jack was with us and Chris' dad even started to cry letting us know it was, "The best Easter present EVER." (We happen to agree.) We had a ton of fun and ate some yummy food. Jack got held by almost all the family and finally got to meet his two cute cousins Kyle and Lucas. Kyle was sooooo- excited it was adorable.

Sunday:

To great-grandmas house we go! I seriously thought my grandma was going to have a heart attack, she was speechless! All of my family was crazy excited and everybody wanted a piece of love from the little Jack. Jack even participated in his very first Easter egg hunt! It was such a fun day :) Jack got stolen by my sister and her husband for a little while, it kinda made me nervous! haha just kidding :) but they did take a family picture with him heehee. Grandma and Grandpa Ewell didn't get much lovings in so they made sure to stop by Monday. What a wonderful first weekend home :)
