On my own...

This week I have been on my own with Jason & it went great! Each day I have felt better & each day we have gotten to know each other better. In Jason's first 2 1/2 weeks of life he has had minimal fussy periods, but unfortunately the biggest one was when Uncle Robb, Aunt Michele, and Cousin Max were here...oh well. You can't expect perfection so early.

On Tuesday, we went to see Dr. Koole & he is weighing in at an even 8 lbs. On Wednesday we went to Parent Link (which is not as much fun the second time around, but I think we will go when we need an excuse to get out of the house), on Thursday Sherry came for a visit & today Laurie is coming for a visit. So, the week has been busy & next week will likely be much of the same with Brad home for holidays.

Sydney I think has had a much better week, she definitely seems to be sleeping better & she really seems to love her new brother. He is the first thing she asks about when she gets up in the morning & as soon as she gets home from day care she wants to see him...all good signs that we are on the right track.

Jason's triumphs this week were:
* does tummy time for 5 minutes before he cries out...yeah!
* his cord finally came off yesterday
* he slept for 5 hours before his first night feeding last night & then slept again until 8am this morning! Yeah, yeah, yeah for me & my sleep!!!
* is awake more & content to lie on his back & just check out his surroundings- helpful to me when I want to shower
* had a bath today with minimal fuss- I just bathed him in the sink rather than the tub...that's too much fiddling on my own

Logan too is adjusting well to her new brother.

Tummy time with no tears!!!
