Jace: Home at Last

After a few days at the hospital, Jace and I were ready to come home and be with our family. Jason spent the first night with us (since it was almost over!) and the second night he went home to hang with the kids. My mom also stayed with us the first few days home. It was nice to have an extra set of hands--Thanks mom!



Jace and the kids on Sunday when they got home from church. Cute aren't they?!





Jace doing the "One-Eyed Pirate." He does this look alot--especially when he is not sure he wants to be awake, but wants to know what is going on. Reagan loves Jace and has started to play dolls again lately. She said, "I can't wait to be a Mom like you." Sweet girl...take your time though!




Travis loves his "Little Buddy"--that's what he calls him! Travis says over and and over, "Mom, it's nice to have a baby at our house." It is too cute! I love their "brotherly love" already!





We had lots of wonderful visitors at the hospital and at home! Thank you all for coming to visit! We have an awesome family and such sweet friends! (I need to upload lots more pics on that note!)











Travis was so excited to get not just a baby brother this week, but some more baby chicks too!



















Jace saw Dr. Batty on Friday after he was born and he had lost 12 oz since Tues/birth...so Dr. Batty was a little concerned and said we might need to start formula also. That night, after lots of no sleeping and a fussy baby, I gave Jace formula. It seemed to help some. Also, Jace got his Bilirubin checked on Friday and it was high, so he got placed on a "bili blanket"--it was a bit of a pain, but we only had to use it until Sunday pm....the formula also helped the bili go down and so to Dr. Batty's surprise and ours, Jace only had to use the bili blanket for a short time.
















Reagan's Welcome Home Decor:
























Jace slept alot his first few days, but when he was awake, he was on the fussy side...like he is colicky already. Maybe it is just going to take some time to adjust with him.















































Travis loves his baby brother and always wants to hold him.





















My boys!









Reagan loves to hold baby Jace too!




















My kiddos just after Jace got home from the hospital!





Travis hold Jace for the first time at home!


Jace didn't want to come home initially--he didn't like his car seat...or maybe he was still upset at Dr. Smith over his circumcision! Poor baby!
