Three Weeks

We had an excellent week with Grandma Fletcher. We appreciate her coming to help us out and also all the offers of help we’ve gotten from family and friends.

We survived our first week solo with Fletcher and quickly learned we must seize the moments while Fletcher is sleeping to take care of things that need to get done which unfortunately doesn’t leave time for catching up on sleep. Also, drool and spit up stained clothes are a norm when you have an infant.

If you’ve ever been to our house, you know our nursery has sat empty for the past five years awaiting a baby. Well, now it has the occupant we’ve been waiting for – Fletcher. He sleeps 2-3 hour stints before waking to be fed.

Fletcher is already outgrowing his clothes and I am able to get back into my pre-pregnancy clothes. Thank goodness -- we think both are a good sign.

Our little guy is still very noisy (while sleeping and eating), animated, and is an excellent multi-tasker – he can eat and poop at the same time. Hopefully, this is something he will out grow. We have learned some new multi-tasking skills too over the past three weeks. We have learned to type on the computer, cook dinner, talk on the phone all while holding Fletcher.

Fletcher gets a least a hundred kisses a day from both me and Chris… We hope that’s enough. :-)
