Hello loyal followers! I can't believe it's been 2 weeks since the last blog! We've been trying to get into our routine - or as much of a routine you can have with a 6-week-old! I knew that life would change. I just honestly didn't know how much. Sometimes it's stressful, but we wouldn't trade even one second of it. Today's post is mostly pictures and descriptions of said pictures. I don't really have any deep thoughts tonight...

So this is the picture of our angel on his first car ride. He did great! Slept the whole way. He snoozes every time he's in the car seat - as long as it's moving. As soon as you stop pushing the stroller or set the car seat down, it's an all-out squall fest.

These are pictures of David's first feeding in our house. It was such a great feeling!

Here is David sporting his "Team David" shirt. I think it may be a little big. ;-) I'll have to make him a onesie...
If you haven't gotten your Team David shirts yet, head on over to the FB page and get on it!
You can also email Aleshia Akin (aleshia.akin500@gmail.com) if you're not on Facebook.
I'll post a pic of the 3 of us in our TD shirts shortly.

Life is CRAZY! It is so nice to be home. But at the same time, it's incredibly scary! At the hospital, if any alarms went off or David's stats went wonky, there was always a nurse right there to fix it. Now that we're home, it's all on us. That's a lot of pressure! My life is now full of What Ifs...What if I screw him up? What if something happens during the night and I sleep through it? What if his shunt fails? What if his stats drop and we can't get them to go back up? Sometimes it's so hard to shut out those questions, just relax, and enjoy being David's mom. But then I look at his sweet face, and I feel nothing but love and joy and peace.

Drew and I relish the time we get to spend with David. It's amazing to hold him, feed him, and know that he is ours. We get to love on him all day long. And at the end of the day, no matter what has happened...he's still ours.

Oh, please say a prayer for David's HLHS (Hypoplast Left Heart Syndrome) friend, Jonathan Young. He had his surgery on 1/3 and is having quite a bit of trouble recovering.

I will try to update the blog more often than every 2 weeks! :-)
Have a great night, everyone!
