{the past few days}

how crazy is it to think that TODAY is the day max was supposed to be born?! we feel like he has been around forever and feel so blessed that he decided to show up a few days ahead of schedule. we were able to leave the hospital monday, but were in no hurry to get home because it's kind of nice being taken care of and pampered by the hospital staff. so we took it easy, and took lots of pictures of our little man. the outfit we brought for him was a little bit big on him so we took a picture of him in it and then just used a blankie for his lower half.



i am absolutely in love with him, and i love playing with his little feet. they are adorable.



we left the hospital around 1:30 pm and max loved the car ride home. {he doesn't like being put into his carseat, but once we get going he doesn't make a peep!}



life has been a little crazy since we got home on monday, but we are surviving and slowly learning how to be the best parents we can be to this little guy. monday after arriving home we spent the day napping, eating, and oohing and ahhing over every little thing max did. {he is pretty entertaining!} we went to bed expecting a restful night, but apparently that isn't what max had in mind. the second the lights turned off, he was WIDE awake...and didn't want to sleep for another thirty minutes. then, around 3:30 he woke up and stayed that way until 5:30. danny was supposed to get up at six for seminary but next thing we both knew it was 8 and danny had almost slept through his entire first period! luckily danny works with a very understanding staff--and they all welcomed him to daddy-hood.

last night went much better than monday night so i'm hoping that from here on out it will continue to get a little easier to sleep. but either way, we wouldn't trade our little guy for anything in the world.
