Gunner's Homecoming

We came home from the hospital Aug. 2. It was your typical Kansas August day -- hot and muggy. Gunner did great during his first car ride.

Bringing home tiny baby G.

Our biggest challenges so far have been feeding time (trying to get a good latch-on is harder than I thought!) and changing time. The first time Baby G pooped while the diaper was off caught us a little bit off guard. Ditto with the first time the little guy peed with his diaper off. Poor guy got pee on his face and on daddy's shirt. Maybe we should invest in one of those little peeny covers I've heard about.

The first night sleep was a little rough. We put Gunner in the bassinet by the bed. I was pretty jumpy all night, checking to see that he was ok with every noise he made. Our swaddling skills were not the best either, so he kept squirming out of his blanket, but we all made it through the night ok.
