Lots of "firsts" and a weekend update...

We've been doing pretty well here at home with our favorite little guy. My parents left on Saturday morning - we were so thankful for everything they did! My mom literally worked non-stop; changing diapers, cleaning, getting meals ready, and pampering me by letting me take naps. We miss grandma and grandpa but we are doing fine on our own - although it's only been one full day! Now Jason has to change diapers, clean, get meals ready, and pamper me :) It works out pretty well.

Our little man is a pooping machine - we are so surprised by how many diapers we go through! He eats well, about every three hours, and has us up for a midnight feeding, then 3 or 4 AM, then a 7 AM feeding so I really can't complain. He takes a bottle from Jason for the 7 AM feeding, so I can catch a few extra winks. He loves to be held, which is fine by us (for now!). We are so blessed with an easy baby (knock on wood).

I went back to the doctor on Friday and they finally put me on meds for my blood pressure. I've had a pretty consistent headache since we got home from the hospital and the doctor didn't like that. So for the next six weeks I am popping pills. They make me lightheaded and dizzy, and I'm not quite sure if that is better or worse than the headache!

Here are a few "firsts" and pictures from our week!

I found my thumb on my own!

First time in the Baby Bjorn, out for a walk! He barely fits but I'm sure he'll be breaking our backs very soon.

WARNING - poopy picture ahead!

First poopy blowout :)

First time in the swing

First time out to eat with mom, dad, grandpa, and grandma!
