Headed Home

Ok, now on to the main show. Here's our precious little boy:

This one is actually from Saturday, but I just found it on Mom's camera. He's precious!!
Now starts the Monday pictures...


My two favorite boys in the world.
Julie (Ryan's Mom) bought this outfit right after we found out we were having a boy. This is what inspired his nature room! It was only fitting that this was the outfit he would come home to his nursery in.
Our matching ID bracelets for our new little family!
Cutting off his security tag to go home
Getting ready to walk out the door!
He is not a fan of changing clothes.

First time working the carseat
I could just eat him up!!!
His room # and birthday: 228!
We're going home!!
Thanks so much, Bethany, for being our professional photographer as we left!
You and Peter showed up at the perfect time!!
Waiting on Ryan and Dola the nurse to bring me Parkwest ice--it's even better than Sonic ice!!
We couldn't be happier!
We're home!!
The Welcoming Committee: Dakota (our dog) and Belle (Mom's dog)
Dakota sniffed Gavin for about 20 minutes when we got inside. She's already more of a protector!
Chad and Megan (my brother and sister-in-law) got us these balloons to announce little Gavin's arrival!
It is so good to be home with the little man! Monday and Tuesday night, his favorite time to be up and awake was between 1-6 am. Whew! Wednesday night and Thursday night were so much better! Wednesday night, he slept for 4 hours straight!! I never thought I would be so excited about 4 hours of sleep! With all my naps last night and today in between feedings, I have gotten 9 hours of sleep today!! WOOHOO!! He's worth the loss of sleep, though! :) I can't even tell you how much I LOVE being a Mom!!!!!!!! I just can't imagine my life without him!
