The first 2 weeks home

The first two weeks have flown by in a haze of feedings, sleeping, and diaper changes.  Grandma Dale and Uncle Brian came in the Saturday we were discharged.  Grandma Dale occupied Cason for several hours Sunday and Terry and I got a much needed nap.

 My parents stayed the entire first week to help out and I'm not sure we would have gotten any sleep without them. Cason was a little slow in gaining back his birth weight and we were waking up every 3 hours to nurse and do additional feedings with formula. Terry went back to work Tuesday and my parents took shifts and let us sleep except for waking me up to feed him.  They also went on several trips to Target, Babies R Us and Walmart looking for bottles, formula, different swings for sleeping, batteries, and the list goes on and on.  I also discovered that we had almost no pictures of my mom (Grammy) because she is the one behind the camera.  I finally got her to sit down and took a few.

My Granny also came down for a night on Tuesday to meet her third great grandchild.  She made sure we were stocked in food but unfortunately we missed our picture opportunities.  We will have to make sure and get them next time.  Last weekend our friends Chris and Chrissy drove down from Dallas to meet Cason and Chrissy took some newborn pictures.  You can see some of them on her website:  http://capturedbychrissy.com/blog/cason-brand-new
We also got to have a little break and go out to dinner with them while my parents babysat.  It was a short break but nice!  Thanks Chrissy for the great pictures!
