Home with Baby and loving it!

(Cute sign made by Mom, Andrea and Melissa.)
We came home from the hospital on Saturday afternoon. It was so exciting and scary! It was nice being in the hospital and having all that help, we were a little nervous to leave. We were also nervous to make the 1 hour drive home from the hospital with her. I think Jimmy drove 15 miles under the speed limit the whole way- and that still may have been a little fast. But even more than the nervousness, we felt so excited and blessed to be on our way home with our sweet little baby!It was nice having help at home when we got there! My mom and 3 of my siblings were there to help for the weekend.(We missed you Dad and Cory!!!!!)
It was such a blessing at 12 am when I was able to call in 2 expert mothers with my questions about nursing! I don't know what I would have done without them! My Mom and younger sister are here for the rest of the week and it has been such a HUGE help! A new mom could always use an extra set of hands for burping and changing!
Cutest cry in the world!
