Eli's first night home!

Eli & were both very happy to be home!  As it was a very stormy night, and we arrived home late in the afternoon, we didn't do too much that first night. 

I was still recovering and worried about going up and down the stairs, so Ryan got us all set-up for a night on the couches downstairs.  We got lots of blankets, turned on the Christmas lights, and relaxed!

The first bottle Daddy ever gave Eli!
I was also surprised to find lots and lots of gifts under our Christmas tree.  So many friends and family members sent (or left) gifts for "Baby Wynne"!  It took us quite a while to get through everything!  We are so grateful!

Napping on his Boppy!
Lucky for us, sleeping is one of Eli's favorite activities!  (He slept 4 hours straight that first night!!)  Of course, as new parents, sleeping for Ryan and I was not as easy!  Every coo and whimper and breath had us jumping up to check on our soundly sleeping baby (all those jumps off the couch were really great for a mom recovering from a c-section!).  Overall, I remember feeling relieved that the first night wasn't so bad!
