Boy Oh Boyers

We got home from the hospital this morning. I was utterly amazed at how much more comfortable even the simplest things were: for instance, walking on our own carpet! It's amazing to see Rowan in his room, in his crib, to sit in the glider and feed him. He was just an abstract idea -- and now he's this beautiful living being. He sleeps most of the time right now, of course. He likes to be swaddled tightly and usually cries during diaper changes because he doesn't like to be undressed. During the moments when he's content and awake and just looking around at the world, I especially can't take my eyes off him.

It's so nice to have my mom here. I was able to take a nice nap earlier this afternoon, and now Tom is having a rest. We're looking forward to a relaxing rest of the day. We'll take some pictures here at home and get them up soon, but for now we're just really basking in the beginning of this new life.
