One week



I seriously cannot believe Brayden is a week old already! He's in my arms right now, content but hiccuping (and making this really hard to type). I took this picture earlier today on my cell phone, so it isn't the best quality but I thought it was so cute. I just wanted to document some of our first week together so I never forget it:

-He still doesn't seem like a big baby to me- except for his hands (as you can tell in the picture).

-He is definitely arm-apoiled. He has never fallen asleep actually in his crib. He has once or twice in our bed with one or both of us next to him and in his car seat/stroller on walks, but mostly he falls asleep while being fed or being held.

-He's already peed on me- once while I was changing him and once it leaked out of his diaper while I was feeding him onto my leg. My friend says I'm still not fully inducted into motherhood until he pees on my face though. :) He has also wet the bed already- he soaked through his diaper while on our bed.

-He doesn't really sleep in his bassinet- so I guess it was a waste of money. He usually spend the first 3/4ths of the night in his crib (minus feedings), but usually ends up in our bed after I feed him between 3-6 am. It's weird because I really thought he would sleep in the bassinet next to my side of the bed, and I definitely didn't think I would do any co-sleeping. It's nice to have him so close though.

-We have said something to the tune of "He's adorable" and "I love you, Brayden" and "I'm so happy he's here" about a million times in the last week! And it is so true- it has only been a week but he's my whole life already!

Ahhh...the induction into motherhood is not a clean, restful process, is it? It's so good that we love these little people so much. He's a cutie, Megan.
