The first weekend of David Jr's life was quite exciting. He arrived into the world on Thursday, April 26, 2012 at 5:14pm. As he prepared to make his debut my mom was in route to North Carolina to meet him, and Julia was already settled in at our house and helping out with Carly. During his first hours of life (and our weekend), he met his parents, Big Sister, Grammie, and Aunt Julia. Only a few hours later, he met his "Yay-Yay" and "Dye" (otherwise known as Jason and Kelly - two really good friends of ours).
Friday was just as exciting with visits and snuggles from Mrs. Amy and Mrs. Emily (both local moms with children Carly and David Jr's ages). Then before he could officially turn 1 day old, his Grandma and Papa arrived in North Carolina to hold and love on him for the entire weekend.
On Saturday, David Jr. and I were discharged from the hospital and he was able to go home for the first time. The three of us arrived home to Carly and David Jr's Papa, Grandma, and Aunt Boo-Boo. This was quite different than when we brought Carly home - that afternoon we came home to an empty house determined to figure it all out on our own. While that worked well back then, we knew it would not work with our second child.
Our in house excitement continued on Sunday. Carly, her grandparents, and aunt went off to church while David and I had a lazy morning at home with David Jr. Then my parents and brother arrived for a large family lunch - all four grandparents and 2 of the 4 aunts & uncles.
While this type of excitement isn't going to be the norm for our new family of four - it was a great first weekend as a family of 4!
