Back home with baby
Tonight is our first night back home with our new addition. The kids are in bed, the wife is in bed with the new baby and all is well. Candice had a c-section and thus needs and will need a great deal of assistance for some time to come, but she is already doing well about getting around and seems to be listening to us when we tell her "Don't do that, let me get it". Baby boy never had any misconception about what breastfeeding was all about, he was getting collustrum from the first day and milk yesterday. We are taking him in for his circ on Thursday(good thing he doesn't know what that is) and that should do the doctor visits for about a week.
My boss has given me most of the week off and the family is very glad for it. The boys and I are going to do some tree trimming tomorrow in preparation for Rita...just in case. Aside from that, it's keep mommy comfortable and play with the boy.
Life is good.

Shannon, that is so sweet. I'll ask my wife that. She's going to cry that you've offered and she's only met you once(like 4 yrs ago).
