Welcome Home Wheaton!

Well, we have been home for about a week and a half now. I am sorry I have not posted an update in a while, but I just can't seem to tear myself away from my little guy! He is napping quietly at the moment, so I thought I would take the opportunity to update everyone on our first few days home. It was quite a homecoming! My mom had balloons out front and she even planted some Small Leaf Dixie Pixie Ivy in my much neglected window box in honor of our little wood nymph! The cats were anxiously awaiting our arrival. I was so relieved when they responded well. It was like Pussca, my Siamese, knew exactly what was going on. I had been worried that she would run and hide and be jealous of the baby, but instead she has taken on a protective role. It is like she knew all along that we were getting a new member of the family. Adam's dad and Karna had gone to Babies-R-Us and stocked us up on the essentials (diapers, wipes, the most adorable little preemie onesies ect). Since then we have just been settling into our little routine. So far, little Wheaton has been sleeping and eating really well. He had his first bath a few days ago and seemed to actually enjoy himself. Aside from sleeping, changing diapers, occasional tummy time, and breastfeeding, we have just been trying to snuggle with him as much as possible! Although he seems to have his days and nights confused, he is still adorable when he wants to party all night. We have had friends and family bringing by food, which has been wonderful. Trying to decide what to do for dinner has been a big challenge. It seems to take a bit too much brain power than what we currently have on reserve. My godparents brought over and amazing spread on Sunday night night which included this beautiful dessert that was almost too beautiful too eat, but we managed. My mom has also provided several meals which we are still chowing down on. I guess my post-baby diet will have to wait until Adam and I are back to fending for ourselves for meals. We have been so spoiled, I don't know what we will do! Overall the transition home has been very smooth. I am loving hanging out all day with my little man. There are still many times where the whole thing just seems surreal. During the lucid moments in between my sleep deprived states of consciousness, I just think how amazing this is and I feel so very blessed.

Despite all of the chaos leading up to our return home, Mr. Wheaton appears to be feeling very comfortable already!
