5 days old!

Our first few days at home with Max have gone pretty well! I feel much less anxious this time around, and it has made things that much easier I think. Liam is doing really well, and we're just settling in and getting used to things.

We had lots of visitors on Saturday when we got home from the hospital. My parents, my sister and Dane, my grandparents, my Aunt Brenda, Aaron's brother Justin, and Aaron's friend Greg all spent the afternoon with us! Max slept for a LONG time that day...probably too long. We're waking him up every few hours during the day now. He definitely has his days and nights mixed up, so hopefully that gets figured out soon! He is so content during the day, but around 10pm he is just wide awake, sometimes content and sometimes fussy, eating ravenously and NOT SLEEPING. Oh, well. He's only 5 days old right now...I'll give him a break.

Liam loves his little brother. Every morning he comes out of his room and asks about Baby Max. This morning he wanted to give the sleeping baby kisses first thing. Of course we let him. Then he said, "I want to hold my baby now." How adorable. He really seems to love him. It's so fun to watch the two of them together.

I'm feeling great. I'll have to post a more detailed post of the labor and delivery soon. It went so well. I know not everyone has a very positive birth experience, so for me to have two very positive experiences makes me feel pretty fortunate!

Off to check on the kids. Have a great Memorial Day!
