one week.

At 11:00 a.m. Parker was officially one week old!
It is so amazing to think about what can happen in a week.  

  • We checked into the hospital Sunday night and began the induction process.
  • Parker was born the next morning.
  • We were in the hospital until Wednesday with a flurry of well-wishers, doctor/nurse visits, and a not-so-experienced nursing student.
  • Wednesday night was our first night home and obviously kind of stressful.  I am the typical worried mom and I woke up every 15-20 minutes to make sure Parker was breathing.
  • Thursday through Sunday we had a lot of time to get used to this new way of life.  Quite a few nice and generous people stopped by to bring us meals, gifts, and just to catch a glimpse of Parker.  We've only gotten a meal for ourselves one night so far since being home, and somebody is bringing us dinner tonight.  Feeling totally blessed!
  • Today, we'll probably lay low for a while.  But we have been thinking about getting out of the house to see a movie, and probably bringing Parker.  She's a really quiet baby and doesn't cry much, so I think we could pull it off.
All in all, everything is going well.  I am trying so hard to make Haven feel important and included and just to learn how to balance two kids.  

And Parker actually slept really well last night!...knock on wood.
