Bringing Baby Davis Home

We had to wait the whole day to get discharged from the hospital...Davis and Daddy and I were more than ready though...we got all dressed and packed up and then took pictures to pass the time

My mom and stepdad brought the twins to the hospital so we could all go home as a family.  

It was honestly a bit hectic, but we got out of the hospital and into the car...and that's a success, yes?

Nora's over there...you just can't see her from Holden...it's a full car ;)

Nora and Baby Brother 

after being gone for a few days, the kiddos needed quite a bit of attention and love from us...we were happy to oblige. 

As soon as i sat down to feed Davis, Nora went to get her blanket and baby to be like me.  It was pretty cute--Nora was really shy about the whole thing.

Davis had some gifts prepared to give his Big Brother and Sister.  The twins were very excited about them too!

a baby!

The Story of Davis

Part Three: INTRODUCTIONS and HOSPITAL STAY

While technically, you only have to stay in the hospital 24 hrs if all is well, since we had Davis at 9pm, we lucked up with an extra night stay...and then we also lucked up with a short-staffed weekend stay, which means that we didn't get discharged until about 5 that Sunday evening...so needless to say, we were more than ready to get outta there.  

On the first day of his life, Davis made lots of introductions.  

He met Nora, Holden, Nana, Poppy, Grandma and Pop Pop, Hillary and Jack. Whew! What a day!

Nana

Nora was hesitant, but curious of the baby. 

 we bought them both big brother/sister books and gav them to them that morning.  here i am reading it to norabird.  i do think she was more excited that the book was purple than anything else. 

first kisses

 

Holden on the other hand was pretty weirded out by everything and didn't want much to do with his baby brother--or me for that matter.

needing some reassurance

 we had to really convince him to come sit down and see Davis.

Since we did have quite a bit of downtime at the hospital too, there was a lot of time for snuggles and cuddles
