The first week

Chris went back to work today. Vance and I were able to sleep untill about 9. Our morning is going pretty good. First off, Vance was hungry. After he ate, I gave him a bath. It's his 3rd bath since he's been home. This was the first bath he didn't cry through. I guess he's getting used to it. He's been such a good baby. We don't have too many fussy fits. If he's hungry he cries but as soon as he eats, he's very content. He's sleeps well in his crib. For the most part, that's where he sleeps at night. There have been a few times we'll fall asleep in the recliner together after a feeding.

Vance is a very healthy baby. The home nurse visited last week. He weighed 8lbs 15oz when he was born, 8lbs 7oz when we left the hospital on Tuesday. The nurse weighed him on Thursday, he was already back up to 8lbs 10oz. I'm blessed to have such a thriving baby. Everything else with the homecheck turned out great. She even checked over his car seat and helped us set it up for Vance. He has his first Dr. appt on the 28th. I'll be sure include the outcome of that appt. :)

We had plenty of visitors last week. I'm glad Vance has family around. And I'm sure the family loves having Vance around too, lol. I'm so happy with all the support we've got from our family and friends. I want to thank everyone that's been around for us! It's made all the difference. Thank You!

I love having Vance home with us. It's given me a sense of completion. I love being a mommy. Chris and I are very happy with our new family. He's been my little snuggle buddy. I find myself just staring at him while he's sleeping. I couldn't imagine life without him, now that's he's here. He's the cutest baby I've ever seen.

We all had a big weekend. Vance had his first Wal-Mart trip. It was nice, he slept the whole time, hahaha. Sunday we went to church, then to Aunt Jamie and Uncle 'PP's, then to Great Grandma Graces house. He was very tired by the end of the day. It was time to get him home and back to a normal schedule. Yesterday was our last day home all together. Chris and I took it easy and just relaxed. It's nice being a FAMILY!

I have a few more pics I'll leave on here...
