HOME IS WHERE MY HEART IS

 Kday and I relished in the alone time we had at the hospital to get to know our new little one before coming home to the craziness of three kids.

 Thank heavens for our families who have been so so helpful and even continued to care for Buca and Monkey until tonight so that we could be home for 24 hours to adjust and rest.
I'm a little sore but overall feeling so wonderful and happy. I'm trying really hard to sleep when I can but it's hard for me to slow down and make myself take breaks.

 Kday found a new purpose for the nursing pillow and has taken a few naps himself. He's still a little traumatized from all the happenings of the labor and delivery. :) As most men are. He even commented that he has a whole new respect for women and what we signed up for.

 We've been busy adjusting and welcoming Owen into our lives. Intruducing the big kids went really well and oh how I missed them.

I know I owe you the birth story. It will come. For now it's my own little memory and I like to day dream about it and go over all the details in my head while feeding the baby. It was perfect. My cup runneth over. My life is so beautiful. More details to follow.

Congratulations! So exciting to have a new little one to add to your bunch. I have a picture of Kevin (somewhere) with a boppy on his head when he came to visit our 1st baby.
