Coming Home from the hospital & Photos

On Friday afternoon Tucker and I were discharged from the hospital. We couldn't have asked for better care during our hospital stay, but it is nice to be home, figuring out our new life in the comfort of our house.

I am sore and moving slow, but I am able to move and feel better than I did after Owen's birth. Tucker seems to have his days and nights mixed up a bit, but is eating and sleeping well and is just a joy for us. We are in awe and happily enamored with the little guy.

It's great to be a family of four and one of the best parts is definitely watching Owen adjust to his new big brother role. We couldn't have asked for a better transition. Owen has been absolutely wonderful - showing no signs of jealously at all. Instead, he is loving to Tucker and he really seems to enjoy being a helpful big brother. Of course, at least 1/2 the time he thinks Tucker is Jacoby, Colton's little brother. Earlier this morning, Kris took the boys downstairs while I slept in a bit. Daddy said to Owen, uh oh, Tucker needs his pacifier but it's upstairs. Owen said, I'll get it - walked upstairs, grabbed the paci, and took it back downstairs and helped give it to Tucker. Kris assumed that I helped him get the pacifier, but I didn't as I was sound asleep.

We tried to make Friday a special day for Owen. He went to school in his big brother shirt that my aunt gave to Owen for his birthday. Kris and Owen brought cupcakes in for Owen's class and during the day they had a party to celebrate his new big brother status. When he got home from school, Owen opened a gift from Tucker (a box of dress up hats- which is one of Owen's favorite things to play with at school). He loved it!

We've created a photo album that includes pictures from the hospital and home. Enjoy!
