Coen's Homecoming

Well, Coen is safely home and he couldn't look cozier. After a tough day of getting his newborn screening, hearing evaluation, final antibiotics IV, and (yep) circumcision, Coen crashed out for three solid hours upon returning home. I'm sure the blanket, carpet, and fireplace didn't feel too bad.

We look forward to life not necessarily getting easier, but at least being done on our turf. We've lived the past week according to the schedule shown below, sleeping in shifts, and living from one NICU open hour to the next (fyi - 'Herbs' refers to an herbal lactation supplement that Tauni was taking, not to the other medicinal aid that you may be imagining).
It's great to have our little man safe at home. I would write more about it, but honestly I'm dead tired, so I'll save it for another day. Suffice it to say, Coen and I have already taken in a little ESPN (Spurs/Nuggets) and I've explained the locations of Denver and the neighboring San Antonio to him. They say it's good to speak and/or read to your children, so I'll do it. Unfortunately, he really doesn't look that interested. I guess I'll give him tonight off and get back to his education tomorrow.
We would be sorely amiss if we didn't recognize the hand of our Heavenly Father in everything that has transpired in the past week. We have truly tasted of the sacred. In spite of the emotional ride, it's been an amazing week and we are completely grateful for our little Mister Coen. :)
