Obie Bonus Time!

We've been home with our amazing son for over a week now (!), which is longer than either of us were expecting.  The NICU doctors were working hard to get Obie home, and everything else we consider Obie Bonus Time!

What have we been doing with this time?  We're trying to be the best parents we can be, enjoying the time with our son while making sure Oberon is as happy and comfortable as possible.  Most of what we do is close to normal...

Taking hundreds of photos and videos capturing the many expressions of Obie...

Snuggles with Mom and Dad...

Visits with the grandparents...

Reading time...

Nap time...

Baths and diaper changes...

But Obie is a fancy guy.  In addition to all these normal things, he's had a party...

Posed for both a photo shoot and video shoot in his room...

 And he only cried a little bit when Mom and Dad made him pose for holiday pictures...

Most of the time, we're all smiles because our son makes us so happy.  Of course we are also unbearably sad, but for the most part we're able to experience the joy Obie brings us.  We're sure all parents go through a surreal feeling with a new baby, but I'd wager ours is a bit heightened.  In all honesty, we don't want to get into it too much right now, because Obie is being alert and cute - so we have better things to do!
