3 Weeks — Time Flies

20 Days Old

It is so hard to believe that 3 weeks has already gone by. I don't have much to say, so this post will be primarily a few of the many pictures we've taken over the past week.

Overall, it has been a good week. Leslie was off this week and came to help out 3 days. It was nice to be able to run to the store or get other things done without interruptions. She also made us dinner each night, so that was a wonderful! Thanks again (big hug)!Connor and I have been sleeping in our guest room so Brian can go to work with at least 6-7 hours of uninterrupted sleep. He has really been doing pretty good and tends to wake up just about every 2.5 hours to eat, burp, spit-up, and be changed. Last night was great because after that little routine, he went right back to sleep in his little bassinet. It is the nights that he wants to be awake and alert in the middle of the night for an hour and a half that are tough on me! I try to stay in bed and go with this little routine for as long as possible to make up for some of the awake time in the middle of the night. So far it has worked out pretty well. I am still amazed at the amount that kid can eat! I know he had a little weight to make up, but sheesh....he's a little piglet!We had a few "firsts" this week. We went on our first walk, I put him in his "hotsling" (still not sure I did it right, he's not a big fan at this point), first spur-of-the-moment car ride to meet daddy with some work stuff.....Connor did OUTSTANDING. He was hungry and yet he still just sat in his carseat, awake, but not making a noise.Anyway, he is obviously growing and changing daily. Oh, his ultrasound results came back "normal" so we just have to wait until his 1 month check-up to see if there is anything else that needs to be done. I think he'll pass any tests they put him through with flying colors. Now he's got a little bit of baby acne, but it isn't bad and thankfully I don't think it bothers him at all. I'm sure it will go away soon....hopefully it is one of the last birth-related traumas that he'll have to go through. We all continue to adjust, but life is good. I think being a mom suits me.
Oh, this is random....but funny. Kathy Rufus brought back that Air Force Academy bear for Connor after going out to Colorado Springs for her son's last Parent's Weekend. When you press the paw, it plays the AFA fight son ("Off we go, into the Wild Blue Yonder...") Well, like ringtones, Mitsy goes nuts over the sound and comes running from wherever she is (within earshot) and then nuzzles into the bear. So, I think Connor and Mitsy might have to share this baby gift!

(I guess I had more to say than I thought....sorry.)
