The McJunkins: Our Early Arrival

As I am sure most of you already know, Noah Zachary, decided to make his arrival into this world a little early. He just couldn't wait to meet his mommy and daddy! He arrived on March 1st at 6:55 pm weighing in at 5 lbs 14 oz. and 18 1/2 inches long. (I will have to get his daddy to write a post that tells all about his arrival into this world...he tells it much better than I ever could.)

Since he was premature he had to spend a little over a week in the NICU at Florida Hospital. He had to have a little help with his breathing for a couple of days until he learned how to do it all on his own. He was a fast learner though and far exceeded everyone's expectations. We brought him home on March 9th which was much earlier than the original April 1st date that the hospital told us to expect. We have never been so excited...and nervous!

Being home is great...hard work but definitely worth every minute. We are a little sleep deprived since Noah loves being held and hates his bassinet but we are had help from his Nana...and his Grandma is coming at the end of the week. Zack and I are learning to really work together and be very patient. Having this baby in our lives is a huge change and one that we love. I can't imagine what our lives were like before little Noah arrived. He is our everything!

Here are a couple of our favorite pictures so far...there will definitely be more to come!
