We passed!

By that I mean.. Graham is 2 weeks old and is back to his birth weight. So obviously, I am making and he is drinking MILK! YEAH!! . The Dr. said he looks perfect. I have been super nervous about my milk supply and about just how much he sleeps. I know, I know…I should be thankful, but really I don’t sleep as well because I am worried about him sleeping too much and then I am having to wake him to eat while doing everything imaginable to keep him awake! He is obviously getting something because he is back to his birth weight, is 22 3/4 “ long, and pees and poops quite often.

Luckily Grandmother is here with us this week. Michael is super busy at work and will actually be spending the night away from home for a work retreat. We are looking forward to the Harrison clan to come visit next. I also want to give shout out to our dear friends...the Kaufman's, who are getting married this weekend in Charleston. I wish desperately that we could be there with you! Congratulations and we can't wait to see you again!

Week 2

Well, we are in the middle of the 2nd week of Brother Graham's life. We have had lots of visitors including Mamaw and Papaw and some dear friends. Luckily, my mom is coming back to help me this week. I did pretty well by myself last week after Michael went back to work. It did take me about 10 minutes just to pack up everything I needed to go where....??? UPSTAIRS! :) Luckily, Graham is sleeping A LOT right now. I know I should not complain, but I do worry that he sleeps too much and isn't having enough wake time. I have to wake him up to eat, and do you know how hard that is in the middle of the night?! I am anxious to go back to the Dr. on Wednesday to see if he is back to his birth weight.
Lila has been a sweet heart. All I can say, is I am so thankful for the rain. It made it dark in her room in the mornings, which helped her to sleep in. This was totally a God thing, because I needed her to sleep in and nap well for me. She did just that my first few days home a lone. I know it won't last forever, but I will take whatever I can get. Today we attempted to surprise Daddy at work and take him to lunch, but instead Mommy found herself surprised by about 6 people gathered in Daddy's office for a meeting. Needless to say, we didn't get to do the lunch thing. We did hang around and show Graham off while waiting for Michael to finish his meeting. We also went by and visited the girls at LIS. Lila had a big time! She had not had a nap, so she was full of herself! She ran around like she owned the place.




Here are a few snapshots from over the weekend. Thanks Stephen and Suzanne for coming to visit.

Just a glimspe...

I wish you all could see what I wake up to each morning. Every day is a
gift. Here is a glimpse of the little blessings we have been given.
