Well, little buddy Christian turned one week old yesterday. As you can imagine, it's been (for the most part) sleepless. After I feed him, and if he's still being fussy, then I wake up my mom in the middle of the night to burp and love him -- which has completely saved me. My parents have showered attention and affection on Kate, saving her from what would have otherwise been a super traumatic week. NOT looking forward to my parents leaving next week!!

The last couple of nights Andrew has stayed up til 2 - 3 in the morning watching Christian so that I could sleep all the way from 10:30 p - 2 or 3. Luckily we got a breast pump a couple days ago that allows Andrew and others to feed him -- hallelujah! I feel like my sanity returned the minute I started pumping. I don't think Andrew can keep up that kind of schedule, since he still has to work...but I am SO grateful for what he's already done.

We even had a couple outings this week. One was to the park just down the street, which Christian slept through. The second was to Murray to see my brother, Mark, and his family -- who just moved here from Alabama!! The rest of the family was helping them move, but I went up just to sit and hang out for a little bit. Christian was unusually quiet, and I think people had a hard time believing he cries (which he definitely does). I am so excited to have my brother and his family out here -- it will be so fun to see them a lot more.

Anyway, I need to get showered one of these days, so I am off. Above are some pics from the past week. You may notice no pictures of me -- that's because I still look five months pregnant (or more?). Can't wait til I can start exercising again!
