2 Weeks!
Matt and I have survived our first two weeks of parenting and I must say I feel like we’ve been pretty successful! Dean has had all his basic needs met; he has been changed, fed, clothed, and cuddled for 14 day now! Pats on the back all the way around, we can do this job! Ok, so I know it’ll get harder and easier as time passes, but I am pretty proud of us. Oh and I guess we should note that we’ve had more than our fair share of help in Grandmas and visitors, with more still to come!
In the past week Dean has started to stay awake more, he turns his head to follow my voice (that melts a mama’s heart), and loves staring at his black and white toys! The only time we hear our little guy cry is when we change his diaper – he HATES it! Overall Dean is a pretty content fella – such an answer to our prayers.
Today I had my 2 week follow up and Dean had his second PKU test. Our trip to the doctors went well. I was cleared to start driving again and am so excited! Dean and I already made our maiden voyage out to CVS to pick up a prescription, oh and one important bag of twizzlers for Daddy! I don’t plan to take on the world tomorrow but it is nice to know we can run around the corner if we need to. We are looking forward to celebrating Dean’s first Thanksgiving with his Honey and Pops this week. What a great season to start a new life! Until then.

Those little foot pricks are always hard to watch though! They sure squeeze the FIRE out of their little heels!
Way to go Daddy on holding him while he got it done!
I took Riana for all her shots and had to hold her down while she looked me in the face like she couldn’t understand why I would help someone hurt her. I told Daddy he gets all the dental visits so its fair and he can be the bad guy sometimes too! Haha!

The third picture, where he has no paci and his head turned a bit…..he looks like Logan.
