Dave and I have officially made it through our first week of parenthood and I think we're getting better and better each day...although of course I'm a bit biased. Ethan had his first doc appointment on Monday and hadn't started gaining his birth weight back, so we got some additional help with the feeding and went back for a second weigh-in and he was up 4 oz in 2 days, which is great. And I can testify that the little one no longer seems to have eating problems!! Dave and I ventured out with Ethan to JCPenney today for his 'newborn' photos that I had scheduled. He was such a good boy and the pics turned out adorable. Can't wait to send out our birth announcements in a few weeks when they come in.
Dave's been the GREATEST husband and father that I could ever ask for!! Helping with Ethan all the time, keeping up with the housework for me and he also did a Target run by himself to pick up diapers, baby blankets...oh yes and he picked up a Bears outfit for Ethan to sport on game days! Normally I'd oppose this move due to the fact that I'm a Packer fan, but I've learned to also love the Bears in recent years since Dave is a fan. :)
Here are a few pics from this past week. Most are sleepy Ethan. The one that looks like he has gas pain is actually a grimace while he was sleeping that I happened to catch.
