Jack, Hannah, and I got the valet service and wheeled down to the door to be picked up.
Jack's first ride in the carseat. Since we'd been cooped up in the hospital for the past couple of beautiful days, we took a ride over to East Grand Rapids to cruise past Reed's Lake before making the trip home. Hannah was very happy to be sharing the back seat. Jack slept the whole ride home.
We were surprised by a cute sign in our yard from Grandma and Grandpa Davis, welcoming Jack home.
The beautiful flowers and gifts from our family.
After the excitement of the day, Jack was out, so we laid him down in his crib. He looked so tiny!
Later in the day, we tried out the bouncer. He seemed to like it, as he fell asleep almost immediately.
We've now been home for 3 days, and each day is getting better and better. He is still a great eater, which has been so nice. The first night was very short on sleep, as Jack adjusted to his new home. He's getting better and better at sleep. We've discovered the swaddle is essential. It's amazing that he can be crying, and as soon as we swaddle him and lay him down, he's instantly out. Wish I could fall asleep that easily! Last night, he slept much better, and today his naps have been great. It's so easy to forget how much we all have to learn in the beginning. It definitely helps having been through this before.
We're also so proud of Hannah. She has really taken to the big sister role. Every day when we get her up, the first thing she asks is "Where baby Jack?" She can't wait to see her little brother. She loves giving him hugs and kisses and has actually been a tremendous helper. I'm amazed at how much she understands and does. We're so happy and relieved that she's so in love with her brother. I hope it lasts :-)
