One Week Old

Sorry about the lack of blogging. I know there are a few anxious people out there wondering what has happened. We got to take Nathan home on Thursday afternoon. After being admitted into the NICU, they have high requirements to get them out, so we feel extremely safe to know that our babe is doing well.

I always tend to forget how hard it is to have lack of sleep. I love my sleep and having that interrupted makes me somewhat of a less happy person. We are so glad that Nathan is here and that he is a good baby so far. He hardly fusses and sleeps A LOT. I remember that Joshua slept a lot those first 3 months. When I talked to the doctor about it, he told me that he slept a lot because he was growing. And boy did Josh grow. So, I'm anticipating a sleepy baby for the next little while.

Josh is doing fine with "baby butter". He likes to rub his head and face, and play with his hands and feet. He can be a little rough with him, but he seems to have adjusted somewhat in the last 48 hours. I'm a little nervous for when my mom leaves. She has been a lifesaver for me and I've gotten a lot more rest because of her. My sister comes in about 5 days and will be here for a week as well. When all relatives have left, I'll reassess Josh's reaction to the new baby. I have a feeling it will be somewhat unpleasant. "Hope for the best, but expect the worst".

Anyway, here's a few pictures for all you picture hungry people.
