Update on The Three of Us

Well, all three of us are doing really great so far! C is getting around like she never had surgery. We're very thankful for such a quick recovery. We've got A on somewhat of a feeding schedule (every 3 hours), which means we get 3 hour chunks of sleep, and this is great because we now end up with a total of about 6-7 hours of sleep at night. His gas pains are almost gone, so he's pretty consistent with his routine: eat for about 20 minutes, look around with eyes wide open for about 20 minutes, then sleep for 3 hours. We're sure loving being parents! It's so awesome! We just love this little guy to pieces. V calls him his "little buddy". We're already sad that he won't stay this little for very long. We love cuddling with him all the time!

We gave A his first sponge bath this evening, which involved A pooping on two diapers and two blankets, peeing into the air onto his new diaper (first time he's sent fluids airborn!), and water leaking through his tub (we forgot to put the drain plug in place). He was NOT happy when we wiped down his arms and sides, but he loved getting warm water poured over his head, and the shampoo massage. It was quite an ordeal, but we'll be more prepared next time! Our diaper changing sessions are like nascar pitstops...one of us holds his legs up in the air, and the other takes care of the business end of things. :)

After his bath, we treated him (and us) to his first stroll around the neighborhood in his new stroller! He slept through most of it, so we think he liked it. It was so nice outside tonight - can't wait to do this more often!
