After lots of this:

But not so much of this:

The whirlwind continued!  I don't think I slept at all in the 24 hours after he was born.  I was so excited and happy!

Nana's first glimpse of Anderson

Pappaw's first

Dr. Sellers!

My Nanny Gulledge (great grandmother) always said a baby is healthy if he sleeps with his hands above his head!

Anderson's very first visitor besides grandparents!!  Maria came in at 6:15 that morning.  We all know she struggles to make it on time to work at 7:00 (as do I), but for some reason, she was able to get to Baptist a little quicker on Tuesday morning!

Family visits

Friends from work walked over!!!

Going home!

He had so many visitors during his 1 1/2 day stay at the hospital.  I think we counted about 70 people that had signed his baby book!  He is so loved!  Here are some pictures since he's been home:

Anderson has since had his first doctor's appointment.  When he left the hospital, he was down to 9 pounds 7 ounces.  They are supposed to be back up to their birth weight by two weeks.  He weighed in at 9 pounds, 14.5 ounces at his one week check up!

Although Adam and I aren't getting as much sleep as we'd like, he really is a good baby!  He looks around a lot and everyone always comments on how alert he is.  Adam is really good to take care of the diaper changes so all I have to do is feed him!  He says he feels like all he does is change him, and I say all I feel like I do is feed him!  I am really trying to enjoy every moment of this because he will never be this little (I know, relative term!) and cuddly ever again!

We have also been so blessed by a wonderful church family who have been bringing us dinners so it's one less thing for us to worry about!  Plus it's always nice to have a break in the day and talk to more adults!!  Adam, Anderson, Bubba, and I also went on our first walk on Thursday.  Adam pushed the stroller and I held Bubba's leash.  It felt so good to get out and about, although Bubba thought he was going to pass out!  Then on Saturday, Adam told me to go get a pedicure, and it felt SO GOOD!!!  It's also nice to see bones and veins in my feet and ankles again!  I forgot how skinny they were!

Everyone feel free to post comments on here to Anderson because I am going to print this blog off into a book for him!
