When Ayden was born

Now that I can post pictures of our sweet little guy, I decided I'd do several blog post going back to the beginning. I still won't give terribly much detail... protect Ayden and his bio. family. But I'll show the pics., talk a bit about them. So... these are most of the pictures we got at the hospital. Please keep in mind they were taken with my phone camera... which sucks! Ayden was in the NICU for about 3 and a half weeks.

Awake baby Ayden, but not waking to be awake

"Just leave me alone please!"

First time meeting Aunt Shannon~ who lovingly gave him the nickname "monkey eyes"

Bath time!

Sleepind on dad

One of the few times Jared fed Ayden. Ayden, for some reason, wouldn't eat if Jared was feeding him. I had to be the one to feed him... or the nurse.

READY TO GO HOME!!!!!

So these last two I tried to turn them and couldn't so... pretend :o)

My turn for cuddles

The hospital stay was hard... for two reasons. Firstly, it was hard seeing Ayden struggle. Secondly, the hospital is 30 mins. south of us, we were going 2 or 3 times a day. The staff was great! But we were glad to go home.

That about sums up the hospital part. Pretty boring, but fun to look at these pics. again.

Love to all!!!!
