First Week Home

We've had Curtis home for just over a week now. It's been a wonderful, exhausting, amazing week with our little man.We have some of the typical stories, sleepless nights, lives revolving around Curtis's schedule for eating, stress, crying, but it's been a beautiful week. 

My mom has been here for the week to help out and we couldn't be more thankful for her. She has washed and folded clothes, cooked dinner, washed dishes, swept floors, gone to several doctors appts with me while Isaac was working, helped with feedings while Isaac has been working, she's been wonderful. And we will miss her when she leaves this weekend. 

Also, a big part of this past week has been my care group. They threw us a baby shower on Saturday, we are so incredibly grateful for their generosity and the love they've shown Isaac, Curtis and I. They've also been so helpful with providing meals for us. We have been incredibly blessed with such a wonderful group of friends.

I think my favorite part of this week has been seeing Isaac with Curtis. He is the best daddy in the world. He is so involved, he loves cuddling with out little man, loves being the one to swaddle him, loves giving him his bottle after I've attempted to breast feed. He is so patient, kind, loving and encouraging when I get discouraged with breast feeding. That has been the only really difficult part of this week, trying to feed my son. Tonight, we have a woman from our church coming over who can hopefully help us, because right now, Curtis just doesn't want to eat from me, but he loves his bottle so I am incredibly grateful that at least he will eat. But Isaac has been so wonderful through the whole process; I am the most blessed wife and mama there is. God definitely gave me 2 of the greatest gifts ever in my husband and my sweet son.

Here's a few pictures from Curtis's first week home.

Getting ready for Curtis's first bath

He doesn't really like bath time too much, but I just love when he does his little hands and arms like that, Isaac calls it gansta

Much better now that bath time is over :)

I did a little mini photo session with him, am hoping to do a few more once Isaac and I can coordinate our schedules and we don't need a nap :)
