I'm Going Home!!

After two short nights at the hospital, we all were "released" to leave the hospital! Although, Brandon & I thought one more night in the hospital would have been good -- extra visit from the lactation specialist, help from the nurses, etc., we were happy to bring our new little guy home with us :)

I know I'm a biased parent, but he is just SOOOO cute!! Look at this face!! In this picture, he's making one of my favorite "oooohhh" faces - he does this one a lot!!


During Jaden's last day in the hospital, there was LOTS of activities...he had his "boy procedure" done first thing in the morning. AND, if that wasn't enough 5 minutes after he came back from his procedure, they came to do the CA Newborn Screening test. What they have to do for this test is prick his little foot, and drop blood into 5 spots for testing. Please note the ENTIRE spot on the paper has to be filled, which was taking about 3 drops of blood each time. POOR BABY!!


All of his visitors didn't bring drama though!

The on-call pediatrician, Dr. Tillman, came in and made sure Jaden was okay to go home! He passed with flying colors :)

All in all, it was a GREAT day to leave the hospital -- here's a picture of us leaving the hospital with our favorite nurse, Mary Jane! And, also a picture of Jaden in his carseat for the first time!


And, last but not least, here's our little boy at his new home for the first time!


Time to get some sleep - we'll write more later :)

I'm an unbiased goong-goong and I think Jaden is cuter than anything! and I love holding him and talking to him, and trying to make him do his cute faces (and teach him to do more!)...as far as being accused of holding him too much...guilty as charged! I can't get enough of him!

The videos are great! keep 'em coming!

love,
dad/goong-goong
