Mother's day

So on mother's day we went on our first walk! I had been looking forward to it for a few days and the weather outside was soo nice!! we had lots of fun taking pics and just enjoying the day...

Later that night he just kept smiling and I love it when he does....that was all I needed for Mother's day =)

Thanks Heather and Lynn!!

We are soo greatful for the adorable outfits you sent us!! Thank you soo much!!!
This picture made us laugh..

since we have been home..

Cayden has officially been in this world for two weeks now..kinda crazy! It is still weird though to come onto my blog page and see I still have a few days to go until he is due. Things have been going good...he is such a good baby..hardly ever cries and when he does it doesnt last very long. He breastfeeds like a champ but wears out way too quick because of how small he is which leads to him not getting enough food so he has been getting my milk through a bottle...it has been working great though because he has been gaining an ounce to two ounces a day. On Tuesday he weighed in at 5.1 pounds! He sleeps pretty well..some nights he doesnt want mommy to sleep and others I have to wake him up to feed him. He is able to sleep through anything which doesnt surprise me since he was in the NICU which always had lots of beeps and noises non stop. My parents were able to come up for a few days this past weekend to meet their very first grandchild...they fell in love and did not want to leave!! It was really nice having them here to help me out...we miss you grandma and grandpa and cant wait till Mike's parents can come up!!!

I dont think Cayden will be needing to ride in this very much longer...

Our little Cayden

This is me at prob around 3 or 4 in the morning...extremely tired but of course can't sleep...I mean how are you really sapposed to when you know you are going to be having a baby, you have an IV, contractions and an annoying blood pressure machine... So this is what Mike was pretty much able to see of little cayden right after he came out...

Poor little guy looks like a skeleton...

This is when Mike was able to meet him for the first time an hour or so after he was born..

When mommy first met him...didn't hold him...as you can see I look and felt like death..

So I went back after a nap and held him for the first time...

changing his diaper for the first time..

It was nooo fun at all having him hooked up to all these cords...

Daddy giving him his first much needed bath...which as you can see "loved"

Getting all the gunk out of his hair...

Mommy brushing his hair...

All cleaned up now!!

Our little glow worm...

Mommy giving him a baYou can see the bruise on his little hand...he was poked all over...especially his poor little feet.

our tiny little man...

We finally get to take him home!! Luckily Mike and I went to walmart and bought a couple preemie things..I looked at them at the store and thought no way is he that small and sure enough it is all he can wear...newborns drowned him...

So we only got about 3 hours total last night when we roomed with him at the hospital and poor Mike had to get up for class this morning...

well it was no surprise when they said he didn't pass the car seat test soo he got to drive home in a car bed and will have to use it until he is around 5 pounds...

Well it was kind of bitter sweet for us taking him home...we loved that hospital alot and everyone who worked with us we got really connected with....our favorite NICU nurse told us today that she had a dream about our little guy the other night....but we are sooo glad to have him home!!! can't believe he will already be a week old tomorrow!
