Brooks meets the family

 On Friday morning, Grammy & Papa brought Marie and Bennett to the hospital to meet their new little brother. They both were very anxious to hold him and they took several turns. 
Both Bennett and Marie commented on how little Brooks was and all the cute little noises he was making. 
They enjoyed watching him get his first bath, too.
Our hospital stay was 2 days. Unfortunately during those 2 days I was struggling with the flu on top of recovering from having a baby. 
I had great care at the hospital but left on Saturday still feeling sick. We were anxious to get home to Marie and Bennett and our own bed. 

 
 Andy also began to feel sick along with Bennett and Marie.
So, as we all tried to settle in together at home with a new little guy to welcome, we all dealt with fevers and chills, aches and sleepless nights. Not exactly an easy way to transition with a new baby in the house. 
Gus and Maya were very welcoming to Brooks. 
They smelled him,  kissed him, and are still getting used to all his new noises. 
We were visited by family members on Saturday and spent Sunday as a new family of 5.
