How we're doing ...

So I posted some pictures last night, but was too tired to write a whole lot. So for anyone interested in how we're doing, here ya go...

We're doing fairly well. We've started to get on somewhat of a schedule. He's eating around every 3-4 hours, sometimes he goes to 5 and sometimes it's only 2. He's sleeping fairly well at night, Shane has been a great help though when he hasn't, because he'll stay up with him. I'm dreading when he goes back to work Monday though, because I'm not going to let him stay up with him much. Shane needs his sleep, and I can sleep in.

Tayson has been eating REALLY well ... today he ate for 35 minutes straight. The most he's ever eaten. I've noticed that I need to let him eat more during the feedings, because he's been getting hungry sooner lately. He just always falls asleep so I assume he's finished, and then he'll wake up and start rooting around. We're learning though. His feedings are getting better for me too, I'm not as sore as I used to be.

It seems like all we ever do is change diapers. Today he had a blowout while Shane was holding him and it got all over both of their shirts. I felt bad for Daddy, because we were eating dinner at a restraunt too. Oh well, that's parenthood for ya huh? I'm just glad he wasn't in his blanket at the time, because I didn't have an extra outfit and so he went naked and I just put him in his blanket. (Tayson went naked, not daddy ... daddy wasn't so lucky)

Anyway, we're doing good ... learning lots about being a family. It's going to be harder when Shane goes back to work this week, but Tayson and I will figure it out. It'll be good bonding time for us. We definitely have enjoyed having Daddy home with us for the last 2 weeks though, and we surely love him. Tayson is a daddy's boy, but also a momma's boy too (he better be or else he'd be in big trouble).

Thanks to everyone for the emails and phone calls and gifts. They've been greatly appreciated!
