Elijah comes home

We brought Eli home on Sunday and it was such an exciting day. He didn’t seem very impressed with his first car ride since he slept all the way home. It

was so overwhelming to be

in his nursery and finally

have him there with us. It

was a great first day. Doll

and Nana were here with

us when got home. Nana

went home around dinner and Doll is here to stay until Wednesday. They have both helped us so much. I have been suffering with a side effect of the spinal block which is the worst headache pain I have ever experience.

The doctors say to take in a lot of

caffeine and stay laying down. I have

been so frustrated because I want to

take care of my sweetie pie, but

physically the pain is keeping me

down. This is supposed to pass in a

few days, so hopefully I will be able to do everything I want to do soon. Eli had a great first night at home. He is so sweet and content. He did cry a little when it was bed time because he is so used to us being in the room with him and we have done

quite a bit of holding him. But we read

him his bedtime story and prayed and

after a little rocking he went off to

sleep. Alan fed him at 11:oo and he

went right down. Mom (doll) fed him

at 3:00 and he laid right down. So the

first night was a good one and I’m sure there will be many more to come.

The Smith’s are home and our family has grown. We are so blessed!!!!

By the way.....today is Doll’s birthday. The first present she got was a dirty diaper and she didn’t even seem to care. :)
