Week One
Author: cortny
Week One has been awesome. Mike, Elliott and I have gotten into a groove — at least for now, until he changes. (Which he will do every day, of course.) We’ve both been sleeping and eating and getting out, all while enjoying every minute with our Mr. Baby.
He’s usually interested in eating about every two hours during the day, and at night we swaddle him up tight and he’ll go for about three or four hours — ah, sleep! He screams and cries very little, just in little bursts. He calms easily these days and goes between super alert and super zonked. You know, like a newborn.
Today he had his photos taken by a professional photographer. He could not have been cuter. She sees a lot of babies and insisted that he was super awesome. We had no choice but to politely agree. I’m not going to argue with a professional. I can’t wait to see his pictures, I think there will be a million, it’s going to be hard to pick! I guess we shouldn’t have had such a cute baby. Oops.
His Nana and Gampy come tomorrow! Elliott’s thrilled to meet his family over the next couple weeks. We weren’t prepared for him to come so early, but it has been a blessing in disguise to have this week to figure him (and us) out. Turns out so far we’re pretty calm. It will be fun to see what he’s like next week, and the week after that… We don’t expect any one phase to last too long, so we’re enjoying each minute as it comes.
