Adam is one week old today...the time is already flying by! We have slowly been getting back into our daily routines and activities. Rob went back to work on Monday and Owen went back to daycare. I think daycare has really been helping with Owen's adjustment. He will be staying home with me one day a week for the first month or so of my maternity leave, and then I will start keeping him home with me two days a week. The adjustment at home is going very well so far. Owen is doing better than we could have expected. He still has his meltdowns from time to time, but part of that is him just being an 18 month old. He loves to "help" (and I use that term loosley) with any household/baby task that he can. He loves pushing Adam in his baby swing, reading him books, laying on the floor with him, and giving him his nuk (even if he doesn't want/need it). Other times, Owen just carries on with his life like Adam isn't even around :) We had Adam's first doctor appoinment today and he was doing really well. He already is back to his birthweight!! He nurses like a champ...every two to three hours during the day and every three and, occasionally, four hours at night. He typically has a fussy period during the evening hours; however we are getting clever by trying to break it up with a walk or a bath (which he is not to fond of at this time) and that seems to be working.
We have had a lot of visitors and it has been so fun to introduce Adam to everyone! More with that and pictures to come later.
Also, Owen has his 18 month appointment next week and I will post more about where are little man stands on the charts these days. He has been in at least the 90% in weight, height, and head circumference...I am curious to see if he is beginning to plateau.
