Jackson David Price come home

Pictures from Jackson's first hours at home last night.

Given that every three hours around the clock I am nursing followed by pumping (a process that takes anywhere from 1-2 hours) with the remaining time split between eating, sleeping, organizing and tryig to finish "getting ready" for his arrival (dreadfully under prepaired).... Basic newborn baby stuff, but add in top of that extra feeding needs and a lack of supplies needed to take care of said new born, outside of chores, tying up loose ends, prepairinf the house, prepairing his room and so on and so forth.

That given, I've not quite uploaded any pictures (don't have any idea where the compute even is, let alone turn it on and actually do something. But my sweet sister is super on top of things and sent these. I'd love to add captions but since that won't happen any time soon, i figured its best for uou just use your imagination :)I can kinda see them through my phone and though it has taken me half the day to type this ramble (which prolly doesn't make much sense) he is sleeping on my chest now so I will finish. I am thrilled/relieved to be able to send out pics at all. :)

He is doing great. Today just after 6pm tonight we looked at the clock and realized that a week ago the doctor was telling me to "push" for the last time...

Love,
Team Price


Ps. The green quilt on his changing table was in his crib in NICU- they gave it to us to keep. So precious to me. And organization called 'stitches of love' makes quilts for the NICU babies and it is beyond words I can currently grasp  to describe what it means for your newborn child to be swaddled up, laying on his hospital bed, connected to monitors and IVs, and have a little quilt under him rather than a standard issue hosptal sheet. This coming from a girl who after two years if volunteering in a NICU was quite accustomed to the sights and sounds in there...

Pss- whoever can make the best 'Dolly' joke wins
