Hello to all of my four faithful readers! I am here I am here! I have not been completly swallowed whole by the baby machine that is my new son. I love that phrase by the way. "My son". It is very surreal to hear that word combination. Josh said it for the first time when Joseph was a few days old and it really stopped me in my tracks. I turned and it was the most awesome feeling to see my son and my husband together! I've been itching to get on and journal my newest adventures and now that I am here, there is just too much flashing through my mind.
Joseph is the most precious thing! He is such a good baby...for two weeks old, that is. Check back in a few more weeks and I'll reconfirm that. He lays here next to me now stretching and making the sweetest little baby noises. I have surrendered to trying to keep his arms in his blanket when we swaddle him since he really likes them out best. I figured out that he will fuss until they become free and then he will quiet down...so we let him win that battle. I have actually been getting sleep, although not at the hours I like best. We seem to sleep the best between 6am and 1pm, but then the day is half over. I hear "it gets better" closer to six weeks. Is this true?!?! Oh psh, it doesn't really matter as my new "boss" is really the best I've ever had and we can get through all this newborn chaos one day at a time.
Some of our favorite moments in the past two weeks:
when the booger finally made his entrance after almost four hours of pushing,
our first day at home (we're really a family!),
when Joseph toots...they can easily be a minute long and are the most hilarous thing ever!
when Joseph pees on daddy,
when Joseph poops on daddy,
when Joseph's belly button healed, daddy didn't like that thing very much,
when Joseph squeaks like a puppy or kitten,
when Joseph is done eating and he makes his steal trap lip pout to let us know he is finished!
Much love and baby kisses to all!!
Joseph is very excited to be a card carrying, hard working American!
Our little present!
