Philip's First Walk
Philip said that he needed to get out of the house today. Brian and I thought some fresh air would do all of us good, so we headed down to our favorite pond for a short walk. The temperature was close to 70, but there was a cool breeze, so Philip stayed close to Brian in his little carrier. 
Halfway through the walk some dark clouds started to roll in and we started feeling some raindrops. It was a quick walk back to the car. 
I was very excited to fit back into my walking shoes and yoga pants and to have some of my energy back. And apparently the rain and cool breeze didn't bother Philip. He was asleep by the time we got back to the car.

Brian is DONE!
A big congratulations to Brian who handed in his final assignment to complete his Bachelors degree in Business Management! Graduation is on May 21st.
So, it has been a busy week here in the Iowa Bickmeier house- a new baby boy and a business degree.
Well done, Brian!

Life is good
Philip is a week old today! So far he's enjoying life except for the changing of diapers, hiccups, and baths. 
Life is good!

Bath Time
Today Philip got his first bath at home. Here was the setup on the kitchen counter.
He was so snugly, it seemed mean to wake him up.
The bath was slightly traumatic. Look how small Philip's hands are compared to his father's.
All was forgiven after he was dry and warm. Ahhh....the smell of a baby after bath time. A joy!

Heading Home Photos
Philip was born on Monday, 4/25. We were able to go home on Wednesday, 4/27. Philip wore a little outfit that said "Rock Star". Brian's pretty sure that Philip is going to grow up to be a drummer in a band, so the outfit seemed appropriate. Philip was a happy camper after we got him dressed. Ready for his next adventure! 
Though he wasn't so much a fan of the carseat. There were some tears shed, but he eventually settled in for the 1.5 hour car ride home. He was good most of the ride home.
Cute, isn't he? We were happy to be heading home, but sad to be leaving the wonderful staff at Mary Greely Medical Center. They offered us amazing, amazing care. It was well worth the drive and they gave Philip a wonderful start on life!
