Because of the C-section, Mandy was in the hospital from Wednesday until Saturday morning. We had lots of great visitors, including both sets of Grandparents, some aunts, uncles, and cousins!
Valentines Day was not quite as romantic as it has been in years past. Luckily we went to a new restaurant in town the Friday before he was born to celebrate. Mandy's meal on Valentines day consisted of Jello and chicken broth, and Adam enjoyed a nice quick meal at his parents house. He did however, give me some BEAUTIFUL flowers and a certificate for a pedicure. Just what a new mommy needs!
Coming home was so nice. Bryson slept the whole way home from Kanab to Page! He looked SO dang cute. All of the nurses were excited about his outfit. We were such proud parents!
Mandy's parents followed us from Kanab. Mandy's mom offered to come and stay for a week to get us back on our feet. MAN has it been nice to have her here. She has cooked for us, cleaned our house and done ENDLESS loads of laundry. There are so many things that are unexpected when bringing home a new baby. Mandy's emotions have run wild and the "feeding frenzie" has been a rollercoaster to say the least. We are starting to get the hang of things ... just hope that we can do it when Mom leaves!
To our surprise, Mandy's sisters came down for a quick 24 hour visit to see little Bryson and hopefully cheer Mandy up. As most of new mommies know, the baby blues can be cruel!
Here are just a few of the hundreds of fun pictures we have taken the last few days. Hope you love them!

What a beautiful baby. So nice that your mom came and stayed with you for a week and fun for your sisters to visit as well.
Oh Mandy!! He is so sweet! I have been waiting to see him! How are things going? Are you breast feeding? I think your blog said you were trying to get it... it's really hard and painfull at first but it is well worth it!! Well he is beautiful.. it's amazing how much they change everyday for the first few months. Oh... I miss that brand new newborn age. How precious. luv luv... Mandy B
This makes me soooo excited! Hang in there things just get better and better (if you can imagine).
You are right, he is very cute! I can't wait to see him. And that outfit is adorable.
Awww... he is sooo cute! I love the outfit too! I hope you are doing well Mandy! Lots of love, Jenn
That is the cutest outfit! Where did you get it?
The outfit was given to me by my friend Krissa. I think she got it at Old Navy
He's is adorable! Congratulations to your cute little family!
The pictures are awesome! I love the last one.
The baby blues are rough. I couldn't handle the random outbursts of crying. I couldn't even pray out loud. I would get through two words, then just start blubbering.
I think the exhaustion made it worse, so if you can nap, DO. Take whatever help is offered and don't over do it. Hopefully it will pass in a few weeks. Goodluck!
Mandy what is your email address?
Love you
Shelley DeGering
Mandy he is cute as a button! I am so happy for you guys!
Mandy, he is so beautiful!!! I hope that you are hanging in there! I know how hard it is to be a new mom. I hope that you can get lots of rest and that the baby blues will leave you soon. And good luck with the "feeding frenzie". It really is crazy, huh!? Love ya! Give me a call if you need someone to talk to.
oh my gosh Duds- he is soo beautiful and I am so happy for you! I am so happy im dang crying right now- why am I such a baby- grr. anyway- you are beautiful you new handsome little baby is beautiful and I couldnt be happier for you my dear! LOVE YOU
mandy! He is so cute! and some newborns aren't very cute in my opinion :) Seeing a baby that small makes me nervous!! To be honest, I didn't have that instant mom/baby connection that some people get :) It took me a few months to warm up to the whole baby thing! now, I couldn't be happier. They just get more and more fun (and easier).
Mandy...Stephanie (heidis sis)
Good luck with everything, he is beautiful! I love your bassinet...I wish I had something from when I was a baby:)
