Week one
Well Zach, you’ve been in the world for seven days now. You seem to be adjusting well to things on the outside. Your appetite sure is healthy. Your mom is beginning to feel like a machine. You spent the first 3 days with the nice nurses at the hospital. They filled us in on the small things that will make you more comfortable and help you transition from inside to outside. You came home with us on August 1st. You’ve been sleeping a lot of the day, but waking up every 1-1 1/2 hours to fill your stomach. Same goes for the night. You sleep for a while, but get hungry and mom feeds you.
You met all of your cousins this week. Max and Addie came to visit with your Aunt Colleen and Uncle Ryan. Mallory and Adam came to visit you with your Aunt Jen and Uncle Chris. Eddie came to visit with your Uncle Eddie and Aunt Jennie. You liked them all very much, your were so quiet and content. They also told us how cute you are. You are going to have lots of fun with your cousins.
You also met Taylor this week. She is your dog. She loves you and can’t stop licking your head. But I make her stop, I don’t want her to mess up your hair.
You went to the pediatrician for the first time. He is very nice and funny. He cares about you very much. He kept saying that when you really cried hard, that you were ‘Really pissed off!’ We also paid a special visit so Dr. V could check out your circumcision. I thought it looked a little too red, but he said that it was fine and normal.
Mom and I took you for a walk in your stroller. You weren’t crazy about the idea at first but by the end you were happier and seemed to like it a little more.
Your mom and I are still in awe at how much we love you and how very happy we are to have you here with us. We are going to help you grow up and teach you things. We are going to do our best to protect you from the world and fill your life with happiness. You sure have brought a lot to our lives. We can’t believe that we are so blessed. We love you Zach.
