Can't believe he's ours

We are back from the hospital and things are going great at home. It is hard to live on such little sleep, but Adam is being great at helping me catch up when i need it. I have been pumping between feedings so Adam has been able to feed Asa without waking me up if needed.

Asa couldn't be doing better, he is feeding every 1 1/2 to 2 hours. He sleeps at night until he is hungry, and just gets a bit squirmy when he wakes up to feed. He rarely cries, and couldn't be more perfect to Adam and I.

We gave him his 1st bath today at home. He took it like a champ, although was pretty cold afterwards. Just more reason to bundle him up and cuddle with him!

We love all of the little grunts moans and noises he makes.

I don't think we ever were quite prepared, nor can any 1st time parent be, for the amazing feeling being a parent is. We couldn't be more proud of Asa, even though he is only 5 days old, and we can't imagine loving anything more then him.

Our dogs have been doing so great with him as well. Cadea loves to give his feet, hands, face, and ears kisses. She also loves to cuddle up next to him when he is sleeping. Chloe on the other hand doesn't care as much about him. She slowly creeps up to him to say hi, and then turns around quickly to find a spot to lay.

The hospital stay was really nice. We were so thankful for all of the nurses and drs that took care of us. They were just amazing! It was nice to have him in the nursery for the first 3 nights. They would just roll him in when it was time to feed, and give me my pain medicine (and don't forget the stool softener) when it was time for them. The biggest adjustment has been keeping track of feedings and when to take my meds since being home. I have created a medicine schedule for me, and adam has a chart that he keeps track of for feedings, and pumping.

Adam has been master diaper changer man since Asa was born. Adam had never changed a diaper in his life, and was able to put on Asa's 1st diaper, and has been so great at changing him since. Since being home from the hospital 1 day, Adam has already changed his diaper in the bathroom at church, and on the back seat of the car. He is just so great at taking him right after i feed, and he has clearly made noises out of his butt that indicates needing a change. He has never complained, and i honestly think i have maybe changed 2 diapers since he was born. He has been a great Daddy!!!

We had so many visitors come to the hospital, and are so blessed to have so many great friends and family. One of our friends that visited said that the nurse that man's the front desk said when he walked in to the birth center, "you must be here to visit room 319" he asked why she knew that, and she said that everyone that has been coming has been visiting room 319. We must have had a lot of visitors being she asked him that. We didn't once feel overwhelmed by visitors, we loved having people stop by and meet Asa. We have already had a few visitors to the house on Sunday.

Hope that is a good update for now. I am writing this at 3am Monday morning after being up feeding Asa. I am about to go back to bed, and get more sleep. I will update more and often. Adam even said that he wanted to post a blog strictly about Asa's poop. I will have to hold him too that because i think it would be super funny. He has been really into talking about poop and nipples since the Asa was born.

Leaving you with a few pictures we have taken over the past few days.Thanks again for all of your comments, thoughts, and prayers. Again we are so blessed, and thankful for what God has given to us. To Him be all of the thanks, praise and glory!
