Week One in the Books

We've survived one full week at home as a family of three. Honestly, it's been easier than I thought (although I'm sure I will eat those words later). Holden is such a great baby and is so easy going. He doesn't mind getting his diaper changed, or getting a bath, or living with two crazy barking dogs. He just goes with the flow. He is nursing every 2-3 hours and if he's not eating, he's sleeping. He seems to come alive in the evenings for some quiet alert time then dozes back off to dream land. He is going longer periods at night too. Last night he had a 4 hour stretch between 2-6 AM. Because I said that, I'm sure he will be up every 2 hours tonight, but even that isn't so bad because he drifts right back to sleep after he eats. Most importantly we are happy and healthy and that's all that matters. Here's hoping that week 2 is as much of a success.

The "I'm One Week Old" picture is hysterical even though the bunny kind of scares me...

Glad to see/read everyone is doing well. Be sure to give Holden a hug and kiss for us.
