Well, the one thing we’ve figured out so far is that Adam likes to eat. He’s a porker. Two weeks ago he gained 13 oz between Monday and Friday doctor visits. We did an unofficial home weigh-in yesterday and we calculate he’s up to an even 9lbs so far. We’ve also figured out he’s quite opinionated, knowing exactly what he does and doesn’t want. As new parents, we find ourselves trying everything and anything to soothe him. We get it right some of the time. He let’s us know of our successes and failures through wide eyed cooing or intense screaming sessions. Walking, patting, and singing are our go to’s. When those don’t work we jump through hoops. He rules the house to put it mildly. He is unbelievably adorable. It is an incredible experience getting to know this little guy.
In other news, Ang found out two days ago that she has a mild case of iritis in her left eye. The specialist doesn’t think it will have any long-term effects, but for now, it causes excruciating pain and sensitivity to light. She has to be on eye drops for 3 months. We’ve pulled all the blinds in our house and she also finds some relief in wearing an eye patch. I told her she’s the hottest pirate I’ve ever seen.
All in all, we’re doing well; a little sleep-deprived, but we feel good on the whole.
Here are a few more pics of our beautiful baby boy. He’s 9 days old in these shots.
