Welcome Home Chase!

We got home around 1300 on Friday and both of us were glad to be home. Megan was glad for all of the time she got to spend at the hospital. The nurses coming and going all of the time got annoying but it was nice to be able ask questions at almost anytime. She is especially thankful for one of the lactation specialists that helped her learn how to nurse. She says that if it wasn't for this lady she might not be able to breast feed.

So far our plan of attack is that I do all of the housework and Megan is only supposed to feed, eat, sleep and clean herself. That has worked relatively well thus far. She changes the diapers at night too, unless she really needs a break. I get quite a bit of sleep, especially for a father of a four day old.

Since Chase is four days old we were told that we have to go to the doctors for his four day checkup. Let me just say that it was a complete waste of time (I have many more negative thoughts about medical businesses (yes, they are businesses) but we'll save those for another post). Chase is back to his birth weight so that means that he is nursing very well.

That's all I have to say but I do have a few good pictures to share with you.

Can he see the dog?

Cute as a button...


(note: I don't actually think buttons are anywhere near this cute)

Welcome for sure! He is picture perfect. In one photo he looks like Mom and in another he looks like Dad. Oliver looks like he's lying there waiting for him to grow so they can play. Congratulations and God bless you all.

Love, s

I don't know how I managed the same comment twice, especially because the original would not print. Guess Chase is really, really welcome!

I can't believe how alert he is at only 5 days old. All I can remember about my four babies is how I rarely saw their eyes that first week. What an added blessing to have you the three of you so close that we can watch his progress daily if we want.

I agree with you on the button thing
