| Rockstar Baby is Home |
 We have finally made it home. Baby Nate was released today.
I have affectionately nicknamed him my Rockstar baby because he was born with the sassiest faux-hawk and baby mullet I have ever seen.
And just like a true Rockstar, he loves boobs and nurses like a champ every 2 to 3 hours. Of course, not one to miss out on the privileged lifestyle of a Rockstar, he also insists on hourly cluster feedings at ungodly hours that should only be permitted for zombies and shadows.
Mark and I are doing well. I believe that in total, I have slept for 4.6 seconds since December 21st and sleep deprived confusion has started to set in. Last night I told the nurse that I am not Rebecca and I do not want her stool softener.
Sleep deprivation aside, I am just so relieved that Nate’s TTN (Transient Tachypnea of the Newborn) has finally resolved and thank you to all of you dear sweet souls out there for your notes of congratulations. You have all touched my heart at certain depths I didn't know existed with your well wishes.
I am a blubbering mess of motherly emotions right now, and feel like the most blessed woman on the planet. I am swollen with pride and love and a newly bebreasted chest and I am so relieved and in complete awe to finally be home with my son.

Take it easy on yourself, and enjoy!
yeah!!!!!!!!!! i bet you are so excited to be at home...just the three of you. he is beautiful and i hope you all soak in every single moment of this little one's early days! :)
I love his hair!!!! He looks like such a cutie pie! I am so happy that everything went well for you and you are now home with Nate!
He is absolutely gorgeous!
Although you and Baby Rockstar did not have the opportunity to spend your frist Christmas together at home, you will be blessed with his presence as you ring in 2007 as a family. Once again, congratulations! Robyn
So wonderful to see your beautiful bundle of joy. Our hearts are bursting with happiness for the three of you.

Awwww....honey, he's just beautiful! I'm just crying with happiness for you! I, too, have been doing nothing but page refreshing for the last couple of days waiting for new news. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
oh my gosh, OH MY GOSH! He is absolutely positively beautiful Karla!!!!!!!! I am so glad for you guys!!!! I love the hair!!!
Congratulations, once again!!
ps - these exclamation marks do not even express a pinch of my excitement for you both right now.
He is just gorgeous. He is gonna give Maddox Jolie-Pitt a run for his money with that faux hawk!
Karla, I am so overjoyed for you that you have him home finally!
The total sleep deprivation stage lasts for about two weeks, then things start to get a bit more normal and you can catch a few winks now and then. I used to simply just sleep when Mr. P was asleep, and that was the best advice I ever got. Forget the housework, it can wait.
((Karla))
I have goosebumps right now. He is a stud!! Dh and I are sooo excited for you guys(and Rebecca).
What a wonderfully encouraging inspiration you and Mark have been for us. Savor every moment.
Can't waite for more pics.
Happy New Year!
I have been checking your blog so often your counter must be through the roof! How exciting to have Nate home with you. He is THE cutest baby ever.
I couldn't imagine having to wake up every 2 hours! Your a trooper.
The Rockstar is beautiful!!! Congratulations to both of you. I'm sure the sleep deprivation is rough, but totally worth it!!
Congratulations on your new blessing.
He's so handsome..
Glad you are home with him..
How precious! So glad he's home.
He is a little rockstar! Just wait, one minute it's the boob, and the next thing you know, he'll want only green M&Ms...
Nate is gorgeous and I think he looks just like his mommy! I know his big sis is watching out for him. Congratulations, beautiful family!
That's wonderful!!! Congrats to all.
Rock on baby!!!! What a cutie he is.
He is ADORABLE ~ congratulations! I'm so glad your little family is all home together, albeit in the foggy "living with a newborn" stage :)
Gorgeous baby boy! I'm so glad you are all home safe. I hope you get some sleep soon. :-)

Dee
Clapping for joy out here in the west! Yay! I'm so glad (and somewhat relieved) that everything ended so well and Mom and Dad and baby are all happy.
Our Nikki had the same rockstar hair. :-)
Wow that kid is gorgeous and I wouldn't say so if he weren't. There are some truly ummm "interesting" looking babies out there, but not this one!
Congratulations again!
Jane
Aww, he's so cute and perfect!! I'm so happy for you guys...I know, I keep saying that, but I truly am. You guys have been through a lot, and you're finally through it all!!
Karla, Karla, Karla. My feet fel like they won't ever touch the ground again. Your story has unlocked all the magic of believing I had as a little girl. I am so insanely happy for you! I was ready to say anything about the first photo you shared...but this child is exquisite. Oh, honey great job! Enjoy yourselves!
De-lurking to say congratulations to you on your BEAUTIFUL little man. I have been following your journey daily since seeing your link on Blogging Baby. Thank you for sharing him with us.

Welcome to the world Nate, you are absolute perfection! Congrats Karla & Mark, this anonymous reader is beyond thrilled for you. Karla thank you for taking us along on the journey. Your strength, honesty and incredible spirit are an inspiration.
Karla,

I have been waiting as patiencly as I could for an update & pictures and was BEYOND thrilled to get both tonight! So glad you are all home now! Lots of hugs and love coming your way!!
I found you from Amalah's Daily Dose column on Club Mom and have been completely taken by your story. I'm so glad your son is home and wish your family smooth sailing from here on out.
Oh Karla... I am so extremely thrilled for all of you!! What a wonderful Christmas gift, and what a gorgeous son you have! One of my favorite lines from a book seems to fit this moment in your life : "Vale La Pena... it was worth the pain."
Good god he is beautiful. Like his Mama.
Brimming with happiness for you and Mark and wee, sweet Nate.
He is beautiful and I love the hair! Congratulations again!! Andrew had long black hair when he was born too, but Nate's has a more punk look, while Andrew just looked like an old man who was growing more hair for his combover.
Wow! You'd think I just had a baby from how excited I am! I just called in Trey to come fast and see and got him all worried from the excitement in my voice! What an adorable baby! He's got such big, manly hands and feet! I love hands, and especially guys with big hands. He'll have no problem finding a good woman, I'm sure of it.
Trey's excited, too. I can tell b/c he said, "He's got a lot of hair..."
Oh, FOR JOY!
May he bring you much joy and happiness every day. What a beautiful child and I am SO thrilled for you right now!
Oh my gosh, his hair is so cute. He's just adorable! I'm so happy for you on finally getting to come home with your little rockstar. CONGRATULATIONS!!!
oh my goodness Karla he is beautiful! sorry so handsome!
I am so glad you are all doing well!
I can't even remember how I found your blog, but I've been following for over a year now.
Congratulations on bringing baby Nate home safe and sound. Many blessings to your cute family.
Baby!

I came through a few blogger links and have been following your progress for the past few weeks. Congratulations on your precious little boy, Nate. I'm glad he is finally home... that's what I was waiting for. Again, congratulations!
Karla this post brought many happy tears to my eyes. I am so very relieved you are home and that your little "Rocker" is doing well. He is such a HANDSOME baby and you are so blessed, something I know you realize more than most. I am so happy his breathing is fine now, I am sure that scared you terribly. He surely will be one to keep you on your toes!
Can't wait to see many more happy pictures of your amazing family. Congratulations MOMMY!

If Nate had been a week earlier (or James a week later) I would have seen you at the hospital as my s-i-l just gave birth to a little boy on December 15th. He has a head full of dark hair as well.
