Maxwell was on antibiotics because he initially had a high white blood cell count and they just wanted to make sure he didn't have an infection. They kept trying to put his I.V. in his hand (see first photo) and it came out during the night. So they eventually put it in his foot. Poor kiddo!Hannah and Abe have been the MOST attentive sister and brother. Abe always wants to hold baby 'Mackwell'. He likes combing his hair and 'petting' his head. Hannah loves feeding Maxwell and she helps hold his pacifier for him. She does not like when he cries and holds her hands over her ears. I can't imagine that Maxwell will ever lack love as long as his siblings are around.
We came home from the hospital on Thursday night. I'm not sure if Jimmy was glad or not after having spent all night up with our baby. When we were in the hospital, we had such wonderful nurses to care for us. Amber said Maxwell was the best baby in the nursery and she took such good care of him. And I had some great nurses who gave me oodles of pain and other medication. It sure is a humbling experience to be in the hospital. Walking at the pace of a snail and struggling to get in and out of bed makes you realize how good you have it on a normal day. I am actually recovering pretty well though I need to rest more than I am.
Anyhoo... we are so glad Maxwell is here as a part of our family. I think all the angels above kissed his eyelids and sent lots of love to us here on earth. He is such a sweet and snuggly little baby. Here are some more pictures that Jimmy posted.

He is so sweet. What a beautiful family. Congratulations!
It's a BABY!!! Oh I wish i could be there to see you and help and snuggle cute little Maxwell. I love that name, i'm sad to not get to use it, but i'm sure we could just take some of your other name options, that should be fine (you know, after i get married and have babies of course). Can we call him "Max" or is it just Maxwell???
Love you!
Heather How can you look so good after just having a baby? I am so happy for you. He is a lucky little boy and a beautiful one as well.
P.S. Congrats on your house sale!
Congratulations on your beautiful new baby! I love the name so much. I wish you a speedy recovery from your C-section.
How precious! Thanks, Heather, for showing us pictures. Maxwell seems so sweet. Your kids sound so cute with him. We're so happy for you that everything went well and you're back home. Take good care!!
Congratulations Heather and Jimmy!
Babies are just so sweet and it looks like you have a keeper. We enjoyed the pictures and update.
Heard that you sold your house! Wonderful! We look forward to seeing you here in Lehi.
Love, Kimberly and Matthew Hanna
Hurray! What a wonderful name. I loved the photo with Hannah and Abe. What a sweet family you have. Congratulations and good luck on the rest of your adventure. Hope you can get some naps in. :) I have been trying really hard this time around to squeeze in the naps, but I still have bags under my eyes!
What a perfect, special little one! Your kids sound like they are being such good siblings and loving the baby. Keep resting! We love you.
COGRATS! I am glad he is here safe & Healthy. He is so cute & lots of hair. How fun! My kids did the same when our baby would cry they would hold their ears, my 3 yr old still does that when his brother cries. You will have lots of great help, good luck with everything and try to get some rest.
Congratulations on both the house and the healthy baby! What a week you have had. Maxwell is darling. So happy that he is here and healthy. Hope your recovery goes well.
What a cutie. And I love his name. Glad to hear everything went well.
