Boy, does it feel good to be home! No time to put any pictures up - but just wanted to give a quick update that we got home from the hospital tonight. We are beyond tired, but so glad to be back together as a family. I don't even want to know how much Nate weighs - he is a skinny bean, and we hope to get some weight on him quickly. He still has to wait 10 days before he can have solid foods. His recovery has been amazing to watch. He has been off any pain meds for days now and seems to be feeling great. The only problem, is that after NOT being able to nurse for 5 days, he is having some issues now that he is allowed to nurse and wants to nurse 24-7...and that is no exaggeration. He has started to throw quite the little tantrum if he wants to nurse and can't (because it will have only been 20 minutes since the last feeding...). Hopefully he will adjust soon. We are so happy to have this week over with - and even happier to see Nate poop all the day long!!!! Never thought I'd be so happy to smell a messy diaper. Our doctors are amazing and we are so grateful.
We had a close call on our house. Friday and Saturday the same family came to look at our house. We later heard that the wife wanted our house and the husband wanted a different house...and the hub one. BUMMER!
Thank you for the many prayers and well wishes for Nate. We felt them and appreciate them so much!

It is GREAT to hear you are all back home together! Nate IS amazing. Can't wait to hear more about: "All About Nate" and his recovery. He is a trooper and sounds like a very hungry one at that:) It is good to hear the surgery went so well. You are all such a loving, strong and supportive family. Love you all!
So happy little Nate is home and doing well. He's such a trooper!!!!
Yay! Fasting and prayers do work! You continue to be in our prayers.We just love you guys. Good things await you in Missouri like our visit next year :)
I'm so glad everything went well. Those pictures of Nate after the surgery are heart-breaking but at least he is on the road to recovery! Please let me know if you need anything- even if you and Dave just want to go on a date! You probably need it.
We're so glad things went well. You guys are amazing - such a sweet family! Good luck with the rest of home recovery, moving, selling the house, etc..... PLEASE call if you need/want anything!
