Cullen makes his big debut!

I thought this day would never come! Our sweet baby boy is finally here! We couldn't be happier! Things started off perfectly. On Dec. 2, I had the c-section, and Cullen was here. He was adorable from the start!

Here are our first family photos.

Happy momma.

Proud daddy.

Cullen's grandparents get their first look.

David was just a little happy.

Things didn't go as planned after that. After the c-section, Cullen was taken to the nursery for evaluation. I was told he would be brought to me in about 4 hours. At just about the time I was expecting him, I got a call that he was being placed in NICU because he was breathing too fast. Because I was recovering from surgery, I wasn't able to see him for several hours, so his dad, grandparents, and aunt Lindsay were his first visitors.

Later that night I was finally allowed to visit the NICU. I was dying to see my little one!

On Friday night, he was finally released from NICU and got to come stay with us in the room. I am clearly biased, but I think he is the cutest thing ever!

Dad thinks so too.

We were supposed to be released on Sunday, but that day I was in a lot of pain and had a lot of swelling, so we stayed until Monday. We finally got to head home around 7:00 p.m. on Monday. We were so excited!

Cullen looked so handsome in his going home outfit.

Janny was such a help and had a blast holding her first grandchild.

Cullen looked tiny in his car seat!

The moment we got home was a bit surreal. I couldn't believe that we were finally home.

Cullen spent most of his first day home sleeping. He fell asleep while dad was changing his diaper, so we had to get a few pictures. We are so excited to have him home!

Tomorrow he has his first appointment with the pediatrician. We are hoping everything goes well. Now for another long but wonderful night...
