Into Week 2

Sorry I haven't posted for awhile, Ive been uploading pics and videos instead. Things have been a mix of crazy and peaceful around here. For one, Caden doesn't do much. He sleeps a lot, doesn't play, and only has his eyes open a few minutes every day. He isn't fussy unless he is hungry or cold so he is pretty uneventful. For most of the last 5 nights, he has slept through the night and Sarah has to wake him up every few hours to feed him. There have been exceptions of course, like the other night when he threw up about 10 minutes after feeding. That soaked his entire bassinet and freaked him out so we had some work to do to get him back to sleep. He is still jaundiced so we have to take him to the pediatrician on Monday and get him tested again. The remedy so far is to sunbathe him twice a day for 10 minutes, and make sure he is going #2 a lot. He is. Speaking of that, its funny how changing diapers is not only not utterly disgusting, its something I look forward to. I know, Im a little crooked, and you moms are probably saying, just wait its still early. But prior to him being born, I was NOT looking forward to diapers, and my mind has done a 180 since then.
He has gained all his birth weight back so he is feeding plenty and packing on the ounces.
Donna is staying with us for a couple weeks and has been a big help around here. Sarah is up and moving more each day, but still sore and tired throughout so having her mom here had made both our lives a lot better.
I am not looking forward to August 22nd, when I go back to school. Its going to be hard to leave him, but I should be thankful for the 3 weeks I will have with him before then. Some of you may not know that I am taking paternity leave beginning in late November through February. Sarah will stay home with him until Thanksgiving.
Thanks to everyone who has come over, or made special trips to see the baby. Thanks for the cards, presents, flowers, and especially the phone calls. We feel very lucky right now. c
