At Home

The Bloomington Hospital has visitor restrictions right now, and since Makenna was not able to come visit we were anxious to come home, and decided to only stay one night in the hospital. I was excited to get home, but wasn't excited to come home to a sick toddler. Makenna started showing symptoms of a cold (runny nose, and coughing) the night before we came home, so the first few days home were a little tricky. She was OBSESSED with Hudson, and wanted to hold him, hug him, and kiss him all of the time. We have been trying really hard to make sure that her hands are clean before she holds him, and making sure that she doesn't cough or sneeze on him. Makenna is doing better, and so far Hudson seems as healthy as can be, so hopefully our efforts will pay off.

Here are some pictures from the night we got home:




Makenna was VERY excited to meet her baby brother.



My mom just left yesterday, which was sad, because she has been such an angel. She has been doing all of the cooking, cleaning, laundry, and grocery shopping. She also has been such a big help with keeping Makenna entertained and happy, and helping with Hudson, allowing me to sneak in a much needed nap here and there. I was sad to see her go, but am excited to have John's mom flying into town tonight.





I have LOVED having a newborn again! He is just so sweet and snuggly. He isn't even a week old yet, and already I can't imagine not having him as part of our family.



We may have a thumb-sucker...we'll have to see how that plays out.
