Day 3- Going home

We finally got to leave the hospital on Sunday! It was such a great feeling although quite nerve wracking. We wouldn't have the nurses to consult or to help us. But we were both so ready. Poor Stephen had been (barely) sleeping on the hospital cot and couldn't wait to get home to his own bed. We took a bunch of pictures that morning before we left.











We got some beautiful flowers while we were in the hospital. Stephens dealership sent these:



And my office sent these:



We got him all dressed up in his coming home outfit. He looked so cute!







Before the baby, Stephen claimed he would not change his driving habits, but that car ride home was much different than how he normally drives. The speed demon who is not afraid of anything took each bump with special care, drove at or below the speed limit, and barely pressed the gas to accelerate after a stop. How a baby changes things!



We stopped to drop off my pain medicine prescriptions and get lunch. I was overdue on my pain medicine by the time we got home and was in an incredbile amount of pain. Stephen told me to get in bed and he took care of everything. He let me sleep while he took care of the baby and unloaded everything from the car. He has been so wonderful!

That night my parents, Aaron and Jessica all came over. Mom brought dinner and aaron and Jessica brought "Mini Stevie" a cake. We all just hung out and let Stephen III spend some time with his grandparents, uncle, and soon to be aunt.







Mom ended up spending the night and was a lifesaver! She took Stephen all night except for feedings and let us sleep. It was wonderful! We are so thankful she was here!

Our first night at home, while stressful, was also wonderful! We are home with our family of three and we couldn't be happier!
