Welcome Home Baby Nate!

We arrived home safe and sound. It took us a little while to figure out the car seat but we got it after a few minutes. The car ride home was great. I sat in the back with Nathan...good thing because the sun was in his eyes most of the ride. Nathan slept the entire car ride. He seemed to love the movement of the car and was so content. When we got home we had tons of stuff to carry inside. Somehow I feel like we accumulated a lot of stuff at the hospital. We got inside and changed Nate's diaper because he was very fussy. This was a task. I had to try to remember where I put everything and of course Brian had no clue where anything was since he hasn't been here. So it took us a little while and we had one fussy baby in the meantime but we eventually got his diaper changed and then he went to sleep. ahhh....sleep..... This is when reality set in. We were no longer in the same room with him 24/7. I can't even begin to tell you how many times I walked in his room to make sure he was doing ok. I even had to touch him most times just to make sure he was still breathing. Luckily, this feeling didn't last too long and after a while I was finally able to just leave him alone to sleep. We didn't get much sleep if really any at all that night. We were up for hours just holding him trying to get him to go to sleep. I think all in all we probably got about 2 hours of sleep that night. Exhausting...
