Nana and Papa arrived on the second afternoon we were in the hospital and have stayed to help out. Having a C-section was much more difficult than I had ever anticipated and they have been a godsend for a multitude of reasons. They have not only spent many hours snuggling with Matthew but they have done laundry, bought groceries, cooked meals, cleaned windows and done a ton of work in the yard on the nice days. I can't imagine doing this baby thing without all their love and support. It looks like they will be going home in a few days. They will be missed greatly for another multitude of reasons but we were bound to have to do this on our own eventually.
Nana with Matthew tucked into her shirt to keep his toes warm
On his first walk Nana manned the stroller as it is still a little much for me to push through the rough grass. Nana is so in love with this kid it is hard to keep her hands off him (this is a good thing)
Papa and Matthew relaxing together. He was always willing to snuggle if Nana would let him. Dad also did soooo much out in the yard that it would have taken me a month to do it all.
We can't thank Nana and Papa enough for coming to stay for the month. Their support has been priceless. Hopefully we'll see them again soon.
