Caeden comes home :)

All bundled up in his carseat...he looks so tiny!

Our house was all pretty when we got home!

So on Friday, September 14 (Grammie's Birthday!!) Caeden was finally released from the hospital at 2:30 p.m. We had been there for a full 48 hours and we had had enough of being in the hospital! It was a cold and rainy day for September so we bundled Caeden up in his carseat and headed for home. We were welcomed with a wonderful homecoming and my mom in the kitchen cooking her heart out (yeah for no more hospital food!!!). Caeden was a wonderful baby from the beginning, but I must admit that the first few days at home were difficult. Thankfully my mom had taken a week off from work and was there to help me around the house and with Caeden. We were a bit overwhelmed by visitors the first few days and it really began to take a toll on me. Chad eventually intervened and asked everyone to give me some time to rest, heal, and adjust to life with a newborn and no sleep! We were truly blessed to have such a wonderful church family at Southside Christian Church that provided us with meals for a solid week. Uncle Brent and Aunt Kelsey also brought us food one day and my mom cooked for us on a regular basis. They will never know how much that helped us and I will never be able to thank my mom enough for being with me my first few days home. She was such a lifesaver and I know I can depend on her for anything! Caeden did have to go to the doctor on Monday, September 16 because he had a touch of jaundice and the pediatricians wanted to make sure that his bilirubin levels were normal. After sitting in the hospital forever and having to have Caeden's heal pricked :( we were told that everything was normal!! Life with Caeden had a wonderful start and we knew right away that we were truly blessed :)
