Our First Week Together


Thatcher is one week and one day old today. I have loved every minute. Even the middle of the night snuggles. We are continuing to get to know him, but already I am seeing little pieces of his personality. He is very snuggly and very sweet. He is easily consoled. He rarely opens his eyes, but when he does he looks all around taking it all in. He is most alert about 7pm and then drifts off to sleep once again. For the first five nights he wanted to be held while he slept, which meant Eric and I took shifts staying up and holding him. He is getting better about sleeping in his crib and just last night he went 3-4 hours in between feedings. He sleeps in the same room as Eleanor and they have been doing great! He is a beautiful 6 pound addition to our family. We just love him so much!
