It's day five of Greyson's life, and we're home alone. Mike went to work today, hoping to finish his brother's bathroom so we can enjoy Thanksgiving week at home as a family. I've got my hand-me-down homemade moby wrap on, Grey's been sleeping in it for over an hour. Enough time for me to enjoy a bowl of cereal, an episode of Brothers & Sisters, and a little internet time. I'm sure he'll be hungry soon but for now I'm enjoying looking down into his sweet face while he sleeps.
Life has been pretty good since we got home. We had a big day on Sunday with my parents, grandparents, and sister-in-law all visiting for the afternoon. Four generations enjoying a new little life. We've had a few other visitors and we had our first bath at home last night. It definitely made baby sleep for a while. Which means I was up with him from about 1 until 5am. That's our routine. He sleeps a fair bit during the day, but there's a long stretch at night when he wants to feed and not sleep at all. Tomorrow I'm going to a lactation follow-up and I'll find out if there's anything I can do to about that! Last night I wanted Mike to get some sleep since he was going to work today, so I got up every hour or so and nursed Grey in the nursery. That's a lot of up-and-down, in-and-out of bed, but I suppose he's really worth it all :-)
I've gotten lots of sweet emails and comments on Grey's first pictures, thanks to everyone for agreeing with us that's he's just the cutest little pup. I've had lots of questions about how the birth went... and I'll just say for now that it was long and painful and hard, but look what we have to show for it. I'll post more about that later, for those who are interested. Of course births probably rarely go according to plan, so it's no surprise that it wasn't exactly what I expected or hoped for. But it's over, and it was totally worth it.
