Crazy daddy and Nate ready to go home from the hospital! Scariest ride home, ever.

Second night at home! Trying to perfect my swaddle. Not so easy!

Nate Jacob HodneMeet lil’ Nate Jacob Hodne!

After 41 weeks and 1 day, he’s here! Last Friday evening, I went into labor and he was finally born on Sunday morning, April 24th, at 12:07 AM, 7.4 lbs and 21 inches. I’m going to share the full story soon, but in the meantime, I wanted to update you guys!

Cannot thank you all enough for following along on this journey.

Now, pass the sushi.

    I’m so very happy for you! Nate is beautiful and healthy! I remember that car ride home from the hospital all too well, I can’t say there aren’t a lot of those moments in motherhood but it’s all worth it.
