Charlie's first car ride
It was pretty exciting, let me tell you.
(i thought Erin was a backseat driver before... nope, NOW she's a backseat driver)
Erin picked out this outfit for the affair. Her favorite elephant sleeper

diapers.
we brought baby home at 1:30 pm today.
...ten diapers later, its 11:30 pm.
We're thinking about changing the word 'hour' to diaper as a means to tell time. You know, like 'babe you'd better hurry up and get ready, church starts in 2 1/2 diapers'... or 'last night's yankees game was 9 diapers long and set a new american league record'
ugh.

my little girl
Now its my turn (this might get a little sappy).
I thought I knew what love was, until Erin and I saw our little baby for the first time. This little thing is absolutely perfect. Not perfect without physical blemish (but come on.. pretty much!), but sinless, spotless and pure. I can't get enough of her.
We sit for hours just holding her and doing nothing else. Whether she's looking at us, sleeping, eating, pooping, it doesn't matter. She absolutely, completely, unequivocally has my heart. I'm in love!

Momma and Charlie
I've heard c-sections suck. In fact, I saw with my own eyes how much stuff they take out of your belly, the number of stitches you get, and just how far the doctor's arm goes into your abdomen. Needless to say, Erin is still moving pretty slow and taking oxys round the clock.
HOWEVER... when you put baby in Erin's arms, its like the pain disappears. I've never seen anything like it. Yeah Erin is tough, but I know she's hurting. But put her little baby in her arms and Erin is a different person. She's obsessed, its official.

How to bribe a Neonatalogist
Dr Egger is our Neonatalogist at Sacred Heart. He's the one who told us that if Charlie's blood samples came back negative we could take Charlie home as soon as today (Tuesday). Yesterday, a different doctor called Erin to give her an update and told her we'd get Charlie on Thursday or Friday, best case scenario. um... can we go with the first opinion, doc?
So we asked all the nurses if Egger had any vices. Pepsi. So here's a package of the 'baby' Pepsi cans with a note for Dr Egger. The note says:
Can we PLEASE take Charlie home today? Pretty please?! love, the Shannons
...on the side of the case we wrote, 'baby cans for baby doctors'
:)
