Welcome home, Winston!!! We love you!!!

Our little Winston was born Monday the 10th at 5:30 pm.  He was one day over due but was definitely worth the wait.  He weighed 6lbs 13oz and was 19" long.  Wow, were we surprised.  We thought he would be at least 8lbs but he's healthy and well.  Mom was treated very well at the hospital and we had some visits from family and we were able to come home on Wednesday 2 days later.  Poor little guy had jaundace and so we had to take a lamp bed home with us to help control it.  After 3 visits to the doc's we were cleared to stop using the bed.  Yeah!!!  He really did not like it at all.  During the day it was fine but at night he cried all night.  Poor little guy.  We're super happy that he doesn't have to use that anymore.  We're still trying to figure out his schedule of feeding, burping, sleeping, and etc. but we sure do love him.  We find ourselves staring at him and smiling.  He is our little sweet boy.

 Here he is a few minutes after he was born.  They were just cleaning him up and gave him his first shot.  Whit got a few photos and some video--it's only been a few days but we just watched it and were oohing and aahing over it.  He is such a cute baby!!!

 He stayed wide eyed for such a long time after delivery!  He just kept looking around at everything.  We just couldn't get enough of him :)

 Whit's work sent us these beautiful flowers.  They were so bright and beautiful to have in our room.  They are still blooming in our home now and today Whit pointed out--yellow flowers for a yellow baby!  :)

 This is right after we got home from the hospital.  He did great for his first car ride!

 He loves being swaddled and we love taking pictures of him :)

 Every once in awhile he was really good on his Billy Bed.  This time he just laid there contently for about an hour and then fell asleep.  It was great!  Too bad every time wasn't like that :)

 Being rocked by Grandma C (who made that cute blanket he's wrapped in) :)

 Dad loves him so much!  He will just hold him for hours at a time.  I think Winston likes his dad because he always seems to be calmer when Whit is holding him.

 Poor guy had to keep getting his blood drawn at the pediatrician's.  Sometimes they would have to poke both heels since his blood was so thick and slow to come out.  But he was a trooper and the last time we went, he didn't even cry at all!

 Watching baseball with his dad :)

 I think he likes watching baseball about as much as I do!  :)

 Here's what the Billy Bed looks like.  I'm so glad we don't have to use it anymore!

 Sporting the leg warmers I got him.  I think it will be awhile before he grows into them :)

 Our first walk around the neighborhood!

 Just hangin', the boys.

"Thanks mom, I'm so content!", says Winston after a good feeding. :)  We love him and how can you not with that sweet face!!!
