First bath

Since Brian has lots of hair he really needed it washed! He did NOT
like his bath, but he looked and smelled better afterward :)

Finally home

Once we made it home we had to take a nap ;). He is just such a sweet
baby!

First car ride!

OK, I know this is a little delayed, but I am just now catching up!
This is Brian getting in his carseat to come home on Thursday!

End of Day two

Well it's the end of Brian's second day and as you can tell he is plum
tuckered out. Little does he know it will only get better from here!!!

More flowers

This arrangement was from Kay's cousins Greg and Mary who live here in
Charleston. We forgot to put it near a window so sadly it wilted a
some. :-(

Flowers from Kay's grandma and papa

Kay's grandma and papa sent us this red rose to congratulate us on the
new arrival.

Flowers from Kay's mom and Dad

Kay's mom and dad sent us these beautiful yellow roses. Thank you some
much!

Abby and Brian

Well Abby got a chance to hold Brian in her arms today and as the
picture shows, I think she is going to be a great big sister!!!

Emily visits

Another one of Kay's friends, Emily, stopped by the hospital on her
way home from work today.

Sleeping baby

Well if this isn't the cutesy baby ever...

Melissa

After everyone left from earlier, one of Kay's friends, Melissa, dropped by.

Craziness in the hospital room

Well this evening was a big evening. We had a lot of visitors all at once! We had: Bruce's dad and stepmom, Bruce's dad's cousin, Gordon, and his wife, Bruce's cousins David and Mary Beth, Kay's mom, Abby and of course Bruce, Kay, and Brian (the camera wasn't wide angle enough to get everyone in one shot). Count 'em - that's 11 people in one little hospital room. Who knew it could happen.

Here's a cute story about Abby. Well Abby was excited to see everyone but she went through a rollercoaster of energy. When eveyone first arrived she was quiet and shy, then she opened up and got really hyper then she crashed. In the end she was hungry so she tugged on her mom's hand and said "chicken". Kay obviosly could go so we told her to go with Bebe (Kay's mom) so she grabed Bebe's hand and pulled it toward the door as cute and as happy as could be. Then right befors she left the room, Kay said "I love you Abby" and Abby stopped in her tracks, turned around and said, "I love you"!!! (well it was more like "I wuv you") It was just the cutest.

Mary Beth visits

Well Bruce's cousin Mary Beth dropped by yesterday evening and had a chance to hold Brian.

Mama and her babies

Here is photo of mama and her babies.

Family photo

Well Kay's mom picked Abby up from her mom's morning out program and
brought her over to the hospital. She really seemed like she didn't
know what to make of her new brother but she warmed up to him pretty
quickly. She just stared him down at first but then found her baby
brother's toes and was as excited as could be. But like all good
things this had to come an end so Abby could go home to eat lunch and
take a nap.

Jess visits!!!

Jess had a chance to stop by this morning. Apparently her four year
old daughter had a little sit down with Abby yesterday. She tried to
explain to her that a baby is coming out of momma's tummy and that
Abby will be a big sister. Apparently all Abby got out of the story
was... BABY! BABY! BABY! Oh well she will learn soon enough.

Visit for Pastor Mike

Our pastor, Mike Fitze, dropped by this morning to see the new baby
and send the congregations best wishes.

Brian + Bebe = very happy

Well as soon as Kay's mom heard about the early arrival, she hopped in
the car and started driving. She was able get here a little before
11pm and boy was she happy when she finally got to hold little baby
Brian!

Kisses

Brian gets a great hug and kiss from his dad.
