One Week

Today was Lucas' one week baby well visit. He's back to his birth weight and doing great. I've been having to wake him up every two hours to nurse, such a sleepy guy. (Probably because he had a little bit of jaundice coming home from the hospital). We are waiting to hear back from the lab about whether we will need to do some home treatment for it. He was a champ at the Dr's though! Slept almost the whole time, and then woke up for the ride home, but was as quiet as a church mouse. It is funny how different my two boys are already. Caleb was always such a loud eater. Nursing and slurping and sucking with lots of noise and spunk. He was pretty fussy right from the start and had a ton of gas issues, poor guy. He was never a good sleeper and just loved to suckle and nurse. Lucas has been so laid back. When he is awake he just lays there and looks around. He seems at peace with life and is a quiet little guy. Even his cries aren't that loud. I know with Caleb Dave and I were both way more nervous and had not a clue what we were doing with Caleb, this time around we're much more confident! If only I had been this relaxed with Caleb. It is funny how he still causes more stress and worry for me than Lucas. My sweet firstborn, I guess that's just how it goes. I love both my boys so much. Caleb, such a sweet sensitive big brother. He is so fascinated with Lucas, and so helpful. He has to make sure Lucas is wherever we are, and loves touching Lucas' toes and rubbing his head. When I nurse Lucas, Caleb makes a little slurping sound and tries to imitate by giving kisses to Dave and I. For now we're taking each day as it comes. Taking advantage of Dave having the whole week off and enjoying this time as a family of four :)


Caleb's been all about Daddy lately, and really into wearing Dad's shoes! Reality will hit when Daddy goes back to work Tuesday! Thank goodness Grandma and Grandpa are coming!!
