This is mommy updating for the first time! What to say about our new lives as parents...there's so much! Adam is 3 weeks old now and growing in leaps and bounds. Its amazing how much babies change in a matter of days and weeks. I take pictures of him everyday and looking back you can see such a difference.
He is eating well and getting heavy, we think he has to be close to 8lbs by now. We'll find out at his next doctor's visit Friday (one month old!) During the day he's been waking up to eat about every 2 hours and after a diaper change (or two) he settles back to sleep. UNFORTUNATELY we can't say the same about nights. Lately he's been taking to staying awake until 1 or 2 am...fussy the whole time and not wanting to be put down. As I write this he is in his crib making little whimpers and cries...not quite asleep. When he finally is completely knocked out, its for a good 4 hours- which is great! but not consistent- then back to being fussy again. There isn't much sleep these days =T Whenever he cries out I automatically need to get up and check on him... so much that my eyes hurt from putting my glasses on and off too fast. Other than our lack of sleep its great to be a parent!
I am now a pro at diaper changes seeing as Adam loves to doing his business the most while I hold him, Scott serves as Adam's favorite bed and spends quite a bit of time there during the day. We've gone to visit Grandma and Pops at work, walked to my store and Scott's and found that any time in a carseat is a solid nap for him.
More on our adventures later!
