It’s Been One Week (And Change…)

Actually, it’s been more like 11 days, but close enough…

Everything’s been going pretty well, really.  Looking back, Meg was apparently pretty good that first week, too, so perhaps I shouldn’t be too surprised.  Calvin’s been letting us sleep most nights in 3-4 hrs stretches, so it’s made the transition to a family-of-four remarkably easy.  By that, I mean that when Meg was this age, we could sleep in, but now, Meg wakes up at 7:00 am, so sleeping in doesn’t really happen…

Other than that, Brooke’s been staying home with Cal this week.  I’ve been taking Meg to school at 9:00 and picking her up at 4:00, and going in to work inbetween.  Brooke has been getting to know our little boy quite well, but I’m still getting my time in.  Some days, he’s sleeping for relatively long stretches – other days, Brooke has to hold him to keep him content.

He’s already make some pretty good progress, at least with respect to gaining better control of his hands, keeping his eyes open, lifting his head for longer periods of time.  I guess I just don’t remember Meg  progressing this quickly, but I’m sure it just seems faster now because he’s our second child.  We’re even catching glimpses of what seem like smiling, even though we don’t think he’s really supposed to be doing that yet.

Regardless, we’re all doing great!  And Meg likes her baby brother.  Can’t ask much more than that. 🙂
