Home at last!

The first few weeks were spent hanging out on the couch and enjoying visitors. It was tough because sweet little Jack had a high bilirubin. We had to go to the public health nurse 3 times! Jack also didn't have enough wet diapers so I was losing my mind with worry. I was stressed he wasn't eating enough so the public health nurse had me pumping all the time. I then started over producing and ended up with mastitis :( It turns out that the number of wet diapers aren't that big of a deal. The first weeks are tough when you are getting it all figured out! But when I look at that sweet face I know it is all worth it!

 Fatherhood is hard work. You have to nap when you get the chance!

 We were so happy to have Erin come visit and take care of us. I was a little crazy with hormones and she was awesome about making me feel better about the wet diapers and the mean public health nurse.

 Tim finally got to change his first diaper!

Due to my excessive pumping we got to feed Jack a bottle. He takes a bottle like champ! Tim got the honour of feeding him his first ever bottle. 

 This supper was truly the nectar of Gods. For 9 months I threw up all meat and diet coke. This has never tasted so good.

 Tim is an amazing Dad. He always asks to cuddle Jack immediately upon getting home from work. He has just jumped right in with both feet and is doing awesome. When Jack is crying and I am telling him what to do, he tells me he is fine and will figure it out. I love how awesome he is with the baby. He takes him and makes me nap. I feel so loved and taken care of.

 Tanny also came for a visit. She enjoyed lots of cuddles. I am hoping that this will make her want one sooner rather than later... :)

 We took Jack for his first outing to 7-11!! It is hard to see but I have him in the carrier and he is snuggled right in. I feel so lucky that the weather has been fairly nice so I have been able to go for a few walks. It is so nice to get out of the house for a little bit.

 Wrigley finally met Jack. He just kind of looks at me like, "Is this creature going to leave soon?" I do love having Wrigley because he always wakes up with me and will sit with me on the couch when I am up during the night.

 Milk drunk!

 Snuggles all day! I love just hanging out and watching Law and Order! 

 We took our first outing to home depot! It was short but nice to be out. 

 Dog park walks are the best. I can hardly wait til it is nice and we can spend all day outside!

 Tim has had a few struggles with diaper changes. Jack has managed to pee on Tim and the carpet. All I can do is laugh. 

 We were lucky enough to have Grandma and Grandpa Evans visit. 

 A family selfie on the first day that we went to church. Little boys in Sunday clothes are my absolute favourite!

What I have learned since having this baby is that I am so loved. I have received so many phone calls, texts and visits. I have been showered with gifts, meals and kind words. I am so appreciative at how kind people are. I plan to be more helpful to friends in the future. 

I have also learned that hormones are real and unpredictable. I don't know how people do it alone. Tim has been there to just love me as I am going through my crazy periods.
