Grayson's first week

We welcomed Grayson Xavier into this world on September 20 at 9:46 pm, after being in labor for 14 hours. 

Daddy's first cuddles

He's here!!!

When I was released from the hospital, we couldn't take Grayson with us because he had lost too much weight for the pediatrician to be comfortable with him leaving.  P and I traveled back and forth to the hospital every 2 1/2 hours for feedings the night and morning that we were apart from Grayson.  We were so excited when we got to bring him home 12 hours later.

First ride home

Introductions had to be made

Once we were home, Gray's bilirubin levels were declared too high (jaundice), and in order to keep him home instead of readmitting him, we were prescribed an at-home treatment - the biliblanket.

He had to sleep with it on as well

The day after Grayson came home was his Daddy's birthday, so we celebrated with beer, brats, cupcakes, and football.

We are so happy to have our little bean home!
