Relaxing at home

The last 13 days seem like ages ago now that our baby is home with us. We are slowly settling in as we realize each minute that goes by that we really have a baby and he is ours to keep! What a wonderful feeling. We can snuggle, kiss and stare at his little face all we want without asking permission first. We are so grateful for the care and love he received during his stay in the NICU. We met some truly amazing people and realized how blessed we really are with our healthy little one.

We survived our first night wonderfully! Weston didn't cry once! He just woke up every 3 hours making hungry noises ( sucking sounds and grunts looking for his pacifier) I enjoyed the novelty of waking up to feed our baby and the peaceful sound of him drinking as he nursed. I know that this will quickly wear off and that I won't think waking up every few hours is great, but for now I am in a state of baby bliss!

Thank you to everyone who has been following our blog and for your prayers! It means SO much to us. I know I keep saying it, but we are so blessed to be surrounded by such wonderful family and friends. I will try not to post every single coo and peep our little one makes, even though I think it all to be blog worthy! :)

We have an appointment with the pediatrician next week to see how he is fairing at home. We will let you know how it goes.

We are truly grateful to the Lord for allowing Weston to progress so quickly and to amaze his NICU doctors and nurses. Our God is so faithful and really does give the strength that we need no matter the circumstance. What a blessed hope we have in Him, that no matter what happens in this life, He will be glorified. We just need to humbly submit, trust and see that He is at work!
