First... I am still trying to figure out the picture posting problem. As far as I can tell these should show-up fine. Let me know if they do not!
It has been a busy week. We had really cold temperatures for several days and rain and dreariness throughout the week. Kathleen and Ted went home on Thursday. I cannot even begin to say how much of a help they were as we learned to live with Sean. Thank you!
We continued to have concerns around breastfeeding and then Friday (do I speak too soon?) it all suddenly seemed to click. Sean definitely seems to be getting enough food, as attested to by two poopy diapers in a row this morning. (Don't bug me about getting excited about diapers - I have a light saber!) We did buy a baby scale, just for peace of mind, to weigh Sean before and after each feeding. Think of the wonderful new graphs that will result! In four feedings today he is averaging 2.6 ounces in weight gain (with a standard deviation of 0.20 ounces.)
As you can see in the picture above Barley is finally settling in to the new baby reality.
Barley checking on the baby (or maybe trying to figure out how to whack him.)
Friday we took Sean out to eat for the first time. Barbara was getting house crazy and craving Tex-Mex so we and Aunt Joanne went to Los Cucos (visit their website, Los Cucos, it is pretty slick.) After dinner Kerry came by and we all chilled eating brownies in the Baby Room. Right now I (David) am spending my first solo time with Sean. Joanne and Barbara are out taking care of their nails.
