Baby Update

Well, so far so good! I'm feeling much better now, although not getting as much sleep as I would like (does any new mom?), and Sean is certainly growing! He'll be 4 weeks old on Monday! When we took him for his 2 week check up he had gained a whole pound from the previous week! We go again next week and I'm interested to see how much more he has gained! And some exciting news, he smiled his first real smile two days ago! Okay, maybe that's not as exciting for some of you (except for maybe the grandmas!), but it was certainly a big hoopla around the house. You know, when taking care of the baby seems to be all about poopy diapers, feeding, spit-ups, it's quite the occasion when you get a little response back from him! Ben has gone back to school, this last week was his first. So now Sean and I spend most of our days here by ourselves, and Ben tells us he misses us (although I can imagine that's theres a "little" part of him that enjoys getting away, just a little though!), and I'm getting to where most days I'm out of my "pjs" by 10 (am that is!). Little by little it feels like things are normalizing...for now!

Sean Foster






Sean joined the world at 8:25pm this past Monday, July 30. At birth he was 7 lbs 12.7 oz and 21 in long. He has been very active, just as he was in his mommy's tummy. Currently, his favorite thing to do is to suck, which leaves his mommy sore! He also likes to move his arms and legs around. Mommy and Daddy are entertained by all the goofy faces he makes.
