Coming home


Finally after 3 days of being in the hospital it is time for the three of us to return to our home. Afton and Mommy checked out OK with the doctors and we were given the green flag to leave. Putting Afton in the car seat was our first big task. After hours of installing the base of the car seat in the truck, the next task was to adjust Afton's belts. Now most would think that after doing what seems to be a hundred driver fits in various types of race cars that this would be easy!! Think again. He was not happy at first but by time the final fit was complete he was a happy camper. Turns out it is one of his favorite places to be. We arrived to our home around 11:00PM and immediately tried to put him to sleep, and he did for about 20 min. He was up on the hour every hour for the entire first night. Both of us got up every time, well I might have missed one or two but most of the time. So far Afton has had alot of visitors, he seems to like all of our friends but he chooses just to sleep rather than be the center of attention when they come over. Now that Aislinn is all cleaned up and out of her hospital clothes she is a much happier person, and she no longer smells like band aids. We found that in the first few days of having Afton around he reminds me of a camp fire, you can just stare and stare at him and it never gets old, he is the most beautiful thing. Mommy looks pretty damn good herself. Well that's all for now, next up, "First bath" experience. That should be good...
