Well, one week ago at this time, we were prepping for surgery and excited to meet our baby boy. Seven much sleep-deprived and overjoyed days later, we are becoming accustomed to middle of the night feedings, changings (diapers & onsies), and LOTS of swaddling. We see new changes every day. Shepard loves to look at lights, is starting to focus on faces, sucks his thumb (not a good habit), and even rolls from right side to left side (we think he is very strong!). He HATES being naked, so bathtime and changing are met with lots of tears. He loves eating his fingers, being sung to, read to, and held.
Big sis Taylor is not too interested, but lies between baby and the door when Shep is resting. We have truly appreciated all the visits and well wishes from family & friends! We especially appreciate the encouragement that sleeping and nursing will get better! :O
