Wyatt Day 2 - Going Home -- Dec 10th

Momma, Wyatt, and Daddy woke up on Thurs Dec 10th after a surprisingly restful night at the hospital, excited to be going home if all the tests looked good. We are definitely fortunate to have the medical expertise available to us that we do but for anyone who has checked a baby and mom out of a hospital can tell you, it's a bit like moving down the assembly line at a manufacturing plant. The checkout includes mom's OB/GYN doctor, pediatrician, jaundice test, blood test, hearing test, and birth certificate.

Thankfully everything was good and we headed home about 1pm. Grandparents Dana and Terry were with us and Grandpa James and big sister Bella were waiting for us at the house. Watching Bella with Wyatt was very funny and sweet as she quickly took on a concerned and protective role. Wyatt didn't seem to mind until Bella woke him up once as one picture below shows. It was good to be home with the new addition to our little family.

Heading home - woo hoo!

Got a little close and woke up an unhappy baby Wyatt.

That response made Bella less curious for a little while...

...well, for a little while anyway.

By nightime, our little family was getting all settled in.
