Good Morning Beautiful
We made it through our first night with Aiden.
Momma and baby are recovering quickly, up and walking around the room, getting the hang of the feeding 'procedure', and all around loving on each other. Sheri's had her first shower, is eating well, changed into a much more efficient nursing gown, and can get around without my help as of a few hours ago.
We've already seen Aiden's first 3 dirty diapers (nurses are handling them while we're here!), learned how to swaddle him into submission, got him opening both eyes when there's something interesting to see, and are on our 2nd outfit (the 'italian job' look with brown pants and a white low cut shirt to show off his chest to the ladies). He's a natural ham when the camera comes out - so we'll have plenty of pictures on Flickr once we sort through them all.
Stay tuned for all the 2nd day adventures. We're headed home tomorrow, so we'll have to keep ourselves busy until then - thankfully visitors will help distract us most of the day, including the most important visitor, our lactation consultant this afternoon - what a job!
Stories on the blog. Photos on Flickr and Facebook. Keep on commenting and we'll keep on posting (give/take).

Aiden looks like one awesome kid!
How did he do the first night? Did you guys manage to get any sleep?
Anyways, I look forward to hearing about more "firsts" and seeing more pictures.
That's crazy that the nurses are handling the first few diapers, cause those are not fun at all! I still have nightmares sometimes...
Sheri - good luck with the lactation consultant. The one I met with was, well, to put it delicately, very over-zealous about her job, which actually in turn brought stress about the whole situation. Whatever your experience, trust your gut and know that your motherly instincts will kick in soon (if they have not already) and you'll be able to lead.
what a tease mentioning the 2nd outfit and not posting a photo for the inquiring minds!! sounds like you guys are naturals at parenthood. i'll say a quick prayer for the consultant... after brad kicked the first 3 out of our room, we were blessed with a real gem! have a happy day 2!
Oh it looks like everything is going great. I look forward to checking the blog every morning and afternoon for updates. Thanks for keeping us updated! I definitely want to see more pictures. Give Sheri a big hug for me.
