One Week Old (Yesterday)



It is hard to believe all that has happened in the last week.  We’re getting adjusted.    The loss of sleep is hard, but I’m trying to fit in naps when I can.  The last two nights I took one at 8:30.  I figured that would work because I would be up in a few hours anyway.  I do feel a little bit more refreshed than normal, but I still have a ways to go before I feel back to my old self.  The perpetual brain fog is the most annoying symptom of my sleep deprivation.  I pride myself on being very detailed and on top of things.  Now I have trouble forming a sentence sometimes. 

Daniel had his first doctor’s appointment on Thursday and he only lost 2 oz. of his birth weight.  We have a weight check on Friday to see if he gained it back.  With the way he’s been eating the last day or so, I think we’ll make it.   He’s been pretty content until yesterday.  I noticed that today he has been more alert and fussy.  I'm still really enjoying him though.

Nicholas still likes being a big brother, but I think he’s ready for when Daniel can play with him.  He did tell me yesterday, “He’s annoying” when Daniel was crying for his bottle.  But, he’s also the one to set up everything for a diaper change.  He also puts Daniel’s pacifier back in his mouth if it falls out. 

I have been trying to put up this post since yesterday.  I guess I should just put up what I have with some pictures.  















More when the fog lifts . . .
