8 Days and counting...


Will is 8 days old! He is a great baby! Wonderful sleeper, great nurser, healthy pooper, what more can parents ask of a newborn! He rarely cries, at least not yet....

Henry absolutely adores his little brother. He often asks to hold him and we've gotten into a routine where Henry holds Will while he watches Diego cartoons first thing in the morning. Henry seems to have a sense of where Will is at all times because if he doesn't know, he goes looking for him... it's really cute. Yesterday i caught him talking to Will while he was just waking up from a nap and he was saying "hi there little brother, you're moving around do you want me to pick you up?".... hummm, I'll have to keep an eye on that one!

I am doing pretty well. This c-section is a bit harder to recover from than with Henry. Right now I have elephant legs (ie they are swollen and huge and look like Elephant legs) and my incision is a bit itchy, but overall I feel pretty ok. I finished taking my narcotic pain killers and the pain from the surgery has really minimalized in the last couple days. Hopefully before long I can think about working out... I think I'll start slow by going for walks; I think walking from our front door to the street will be exhausting considering I've been on hospital bedrest for so long! Maybe I'll work up to being a mall walker after that!

I'll update more later - hopefully with some cuter pics of our boy!
