Or alternately, he would have been one week old today if we had been induced!
He is the best.
(Obviously I think that, I'm his mama!)
Is he a perfect baby? No. But he's amazing!
We've had some ups and downs in these first 11 days.
He's met family and a few friends, had his newborn photos, and a few nights with LOTS of awake time!
He seems to not want to settle down after his first middle of the night feeding.
Like, the first feeding/awake time takes an hour and a half plus!
Obviously its a normal thing, its just not as enjoyable in the moment!
Chad did his first full night shift Saturday night.
What a trooper. He did great!
Silas is a BIG eater! I don't think our petite boy will be petite for very long!
We go for a weight check tomorrow and will see for sure, but I feel like he has already grown.
It's crazy!
...speaking of crazy, its true what people say...
the first few days/weeks are a blur!
I feel like we just got home from the hospital, but then I turned around and he's been home for 9 days!
I love seeing Chad and Silas together.
Silas LOVES snuggling his daddy.
He can be restless or upset, and all I need to do is hand him to his dad, and he's calm and happy.
Silas has also gotten to meet my nanny family.
The kids were SO excited to meet him.
The big ones did well, but Littlest Miss wasn't so sure....
...a little jealousy and a lot of curiosity.
She is very into carrying around her baby doll, but she needs some work on realizing that she can't treat this baby just the same. Haha.
Their mom texted me later that night, and told me that as she was putting Little Miss to bed, she asked if she liked her new friend Silas.
Her response?
"He's not my friend, he's my family!"
Yep, that was one of those moments where I felt like my heart would explode!
I love being this little guy's mommy.
