Welcome to Parenthood








Chris and I are overwhelmed with joy to be new parents! So many visitors at the hospital and now at the house and we are thankful for the support. Dillon came out with a full head of hair (shocking I know).






Now I know what people mean when they say sleep when he sleeps because he is not sleeping through the night at all, more like screaming and crying and as a parent with no sleep that is so frustrating. It will all get better I'm sure. We are very lucky to have a little time off next week to get into a schedule.






Here are a few more pics of the little guy. Born March 10, 2010 at 3:30pm, 7lb 90z and 19.5 inches long and a full head of hair!
This was Dillon and Randi getting to know each other. Randi is still a bit skeptical, especially when he cries!
More later.

Hang in there, Molly! Coming home and being immediately sleep deprived is tough--do your best to take naps while he sleeps during the day (even though you'll feel like getting things done during this time!) Let me know if you need any advice..I'm not an expert, but was just in your shoes 4 weeks ago!! Hope he's a good eater for you b/c I know how tough that can be, too! Email me if you need anything! :) jamieannthompson@hotmail.com

Yes, welcome to parenthood! My only advise is don't push yourself. The more you nap and take care of yourself the better things will be in the long run. Remember laundry will always be there and the kitchen can always be cleaned later. Don't do too much too early. Like Jamie, if you need anything let me know.

I love the pictures and the stories.
Everything is better when you have rest, so please nap, nap, nap....whenever you can!
You all look great! Dillon's looks are changing already. He is getting more and more handsome every day!
