Settling In With Carson

So after following my own advice we survived the first week with a newborn. The next week we were more settled, got a bit more sleep, and slowly started figuring out Carson's quirks and noises. He is quite the growing boy as well. We left the hospital weighing 8lbs, checked in at 8lbs 7oz at our one week appointment and a whopping 9lbs 1oz at our two week newborn screening. So glad I have a healthy, growing baby boy.

We had more visitors which were gladly welcomed for more sleep time and advice on taking care of a newborn. Thanks to you all!!



We still don't do well in the crib at night but now takes naps there thanks to Auntie Lauren!! She is the swaddle master and sleep whisperer. It's too bad she lives so far away.

Reid and I are adapting better and better each day but we both know we still have a long ways to go until we are feeling good and comfortable (if we ever even get there). But in the mean time we are enjoying Carson, trying not to forget about Snyder and settling in to life as a family of three.
