Hospital & Coming Home

We spent two nights and two days in the hospital. Clay came during the day but went home to sleep at night (we figured we needed at least one sane parent). Addie spent the two days with Grandpa and Grandma so Clay could be with me a little longer at night. She had a lot of fun. Thanks Grandpa & Grandma!

The stay was pretty good- the first night Will ended up in my room for a good chunk of the night because he decided he wanted to sleep instead of eat. The next morning, he and I just hung out, slept and rested till the early afternoon when people started coming to visit. Clay took Addie out for a little while to pick a present for Will and to have some Daddy time. That night we had quite a few visitors. Thanks to everyone who came to see us.

The second night Will spent most of the night in the nursery so I was able to get some rest. They only brought him to me to feed him, then they'd take him back. It was really nice. The next morning it was just me and him at the hospital for most of the morning/early afternoon because Clay was busy at home getting the cradle fixed & ready, putting in the carseat, doing laundry, etc.

We finally left the hospital to come home around 4:00. It was so nice to finally be in my own house. Addie was excited and happy to be home and was really cute with Will.

Here is another slide show of pictures from the first couple days of Will's life:
