Well, we've made it through the first 11 days and I can honestly say that it has been extremely easy compared to what we went through when Adam was born. We've been blessed with a great sleeper and an even better eater. I think it helps that Matthew was fully cooked when he arrived. Adam had a bit of a struggle to catch up because he came so early.
We've been fortunate to have all of my parents here since Matthew was born. They have all been a tremendous help in making the transition to a family of 4. Today is our first day on our own. Marchus and I woke up this morning to this realization, and although there remains dirty dishes in the sink and laundry in piles in the laundry room (which makes me nuts), it feels pretty good.
Adam has been wonderful with his baby brother. His favorite thing is to kiss him gently on the head. He is also very vocal in his desire to hold him by himself. I think that Adam is adjusting well and is quick to remind us that he is a "big boy". He loves the tricycle that Matthew got him when he came home from the hospital and rides it up to the mailbox each day so he can deliver the mail home. It may become a neighborhood pilgrimage as 2 neighborhood kids and their dads joined Marchus and Adam yesterday.
So, so far, so good. I feel so fortunate. What a great way to kick off a new decade. :) I'm posting a few more photos... as you can see. :)
