A Few New Favorites

Marcus is officially a week old, and as adorable as ever!

The past couple of days we have been experimenting with all of our baby soothing tools to figure out which ones will work for the little man.

Here are some pics of the top favorites:

A Week Ago Today

It's hard to believe that a week ago today I was in total agony. As I write this post, I remember that at this exact moment last week I was 20 minutes away from my epidural (aka the best thing ever invented).

Luckily, this week things are looking up. Check out what I get to look at now, it's even better than the epidural!

Meet the Grandparents

Marcus got to meet Grandma and Grandpa Tonucci yesterday. My parents made the long drive up from Michigan to meet our little guy and my mom is staying for a week to help me, as Todd heads back to work this week. She has been a godsend. I feel so blessed to have Marcus and my family!

Hey I'm 3 Days Old!

Here are some pictures from Marcus's 3rd day in the world, and his first day at home all day with me and Todd.

We learned that he loves the Snuggle Bunny bouncing chair (even slept in it for part of the night - hallelujah!), and he loves the pacifier. That's right, Todd and I broke down and gave it to him. He is still nursing like a champ, and all 3 of us are much happier this way.

On the Way Home

Getting into the car seat was a bit of an ordeal, someone was not a happy camper. But riding along on the highway was blissful. Also, to "pacify" the stop signs, Marcus was soothed by my new mommy trick of the old "finger pacifier" - thank you nurses at Methodists!

First Time Parents

A few of our first moments as parents. It's amazing how naturally everything comes!
