On Wednesday morning we were discharged from the hospital. Max has been such a mellow baby, its been a very calm transition to having two children. Poor baby was circumsized only 2 hours before we left the hospital. He's been a little on edge ever since. But I think with a little time and healing that will pass. Because I delivered so late at night our stay was very brief. I'm happy to be home with my family. Lilia was very sad each time she had to leave me. She would also cry because we'd promised her baby Max was going to our home just not yet. She wanted us home with her.
She's been a great help. As soon as we arrived home he pooped. She heard me say he was poopy and she walks away from me towards the bathroom saying "yucky poopy, Mommy" very seriously. Next thing I know she brings me one of her diapers, the box of wipes and a disposal bag for the diaper. She then expected me to hand over the baby and let her get to work. Thankfully during the diaper change she was more interested in his "yucky belly" (belly button) than his special parts. She calls anything special on any of us our "body". We're gonna stick with that label for a quite a while i think. I don't want to be walking around in the grocery store and have her start telling people about his "body" with any other words. "Body" is good!
I'm a very visual person so to me pictures are my favorite. Here are a bunch more, hope you enjoy!
Mommy and Max ready to go home!
He's our cool dude!
I received 3 beautiful floral bouquets and a dozen roses. Thank you for all the kindness and love!
(We also came home on Mom's birthday so some flowers were hers.)
Max with his eyes open. It doesn't seem like it happens too much. He loves his rest, and mommy's enjoying a lot of rest too.
Grammy and Pop visited us in the hospital! We were able to skype with Grandma Joy and Grandpa Larry in Utah from the hospital too!
Max in his bouncey seat. He has some room to grow :)
One of my favorite photos of him! He's so beautiful, and makes many cute faces in his sleep.
First family photo of Four after we came home.
My angel, Lilia wanting attention! She makes sure we don't ever forget how cute she is. I don't think I could forget :)
The two men in my life!
Our angels from heaven!
Max had a dr. check-up today, 4 days old. He left the hospital weighing 7 lbs 8oz. (its normal to lose some weight for up to 2 weeks.) He weighed in today at 8 lbs. 1 oz. He loves his mama's milk! He's super healthy and doing great! I'm feeling pretty good and have lots of energy. He sleeps 2-3 hours at a time at night and doesn't keep me up for more than a few minutes at a time. We're all adjusting well. Yesterday was his first trip to the park and we visited City Hall, my dad's office. He'll certainly be kept on the move cause I don't like to just sit home for very long. Thanks for all the love and well wishes. Come and visit us if you can. We'll also be heading to Utah in less than a month, so maybe we'll see you then!
Its hot hot hot! And Lilia adores playing in the "waterfall" -she means the ocean. And Max finds the sound of the ocean very relaxing and sleeps the entire time.
My handsome boy, he's now 1 month
Pop's retired! This is his last day in the office.
Lily put her baby down the front of her leotard. She sees me with Max in the front pack. I think she'll be a wonderful mother :)
This weekend was the dance recital. I teach Modern Dance at Leslie's Dance Studio. They danced to Firefly and had glow bracelets and glow earrings in the dark for part of the dance. It was amazing!
My best friend Kristin got married. This is the three of us BFF! Janelle, Kristin, and Me.
Max wore his sailor suit and slept most of the time. We had to cover his ears while the band played, it was so loud!
He's getting so big!
This is the newborn outfit he came home from in the hospital. It doesn't fit him anymore.
Max wore a suit to Pop's retirement dinner.
My handsome men
Congrats on your retirement Pop!

Pop teaching Lily the joy of roasting marshmallows. She didn't have the patience to roast them.
I chopped my hair off myself. It feels so great to not have the long hair on my neck in this heat.
practicing before church with Grammy. Both still need to get dressed.
