Beth and Will came home from the hospital yesterday! We had a wonderful nurse in the morning (one of many wonderful nurses we met) who really made things happen, and got Will cleared by the pediatrician and Beth cleared by her OB doctor, so we were able to pack up and leave the hospital around 11 a.m. Before we left, the nurse got us all together (with Will in his going-home outfit) and snapped a couple pictures.
Here's Will riding in his car seat.
And Will meeting his pooch Maeby. They regarded each other with varying levels of interest. Maeby clearly senses what's happening, and has spent much of the time eying Will or burying her head in someone's lap to get attention. As I write this, she's tucked under the dining room table eying everyone in the living room. But just this afternoon she and Will came nose-to-nose, and Will started following all of her movements around the room! I can't wait to see how they get along... I keep imagining a future children's book titled "The Adventures of Maeby and Will."
This morning we gave Will his first bath at home. He wasn't a big fan. Generally, we've found that he likes being clothed and wrapped up; a majority of diaper changes are accompanied by a symphony of wailing. But once you wrap him up, he's content!And last but not least, you can also see a picture of Will meeting his Aunt Katie last night on her blog. For the sake of repetition, I won't repost it here, but make sure you check it out!

Beth, you look awesome! How are you feeling?
CONGRATULATIONS!
And no wonder the kid doesn't like being unwrapped. Nine months of his life were spent without any air circulation at all...now there's all this light and all these breezes. It has to be traumatic to be a newborn!
Looks from Katie's blog like your doctor was right in ordering the C-section. 9 lbs. 13 oz.! He IS a little moose! :)
I was all set to write how great Beth looks and then I saw that someone beat me to it! Still, you look WONDERFUL! Will is just beautiful too! We love your frequent posts and feel much close to the action by reading them. It's so hard to be far away right now. We desperately want to see you all, to hold Will, and to be able to provide you with any help you need (Although I suspect you have quite a bit of help already considering all of your close friends and family near by!). We love you all and can't wait to see you!
ok seriously! SO cute! i might just take a bite out of those yummy little cheeks! he has two...he won't miss one bite :) we can't wait to see him! maddie looks at his pictures and makes this little "hmmmm" sound that she reserves for only her most affectionate moments. very sweet!
FUN! all the firsts! i am just so thrilled for all of you! and, yes, beth, you look AMAZING, although that's not surprising to me one bit! have a will-filled fun day!
Did the ride home happen to involve Baby's First Car Chase?
Just wondering.
