The First Week

It's an amazing feeling to grow a baby inside for nine months, get everything around the house ready for him, and then finally get to bring him home and start our life as a family of four! It is such an exciting time.

I had Davis at 6:45 in the morning... bright and early after one long night of labour. We had to stay in the hospital for one full day, so by lunchtime the next day, they were ready to spring us free.

My mom and Edison were at the house, eagerly awaiting our arrival home. Edison was so excited to have his baby stay at home... each time he visited in the hospital, he didn't want to leave Davis behind.

Davis spent the first week of his life sleeping like a rock during the day... and then keeping me up all night. After Edison, I forgot how completely exhausting having a newborn baby is. Sleep is a luxury that I savour every moment of whenever I can get it!

Jonathan has been awesome and has taken over a lot of the helping with Edison while I have a newborn attached to me most of the time. Edison has been such a great big brother, showering Davis with lots of love and helping out whenever possible. Edison has never once seemed jealous and really made bringing Davis home so easy.

Such a sleepy-head!

Brothers!

What a blessing!
