the adventures of a newborn

The last few days have been a blur... Adam and I were chatting earlier about how things have changed, and how we're adapting to the changes. All in all, I think it's been pretty perfect.

Elijah came home on Thursday, after just a short 2 night stay in the hospital. Despite his size of only 6 pounds he is doing great, eating and sleeping well and really seems to be a chill baby. It's all I could have hoped for.

Most of the Blake Family attended a wedding on Friday; it was an intimate affair in a beautiful park setting, fountains and gazebo for the stage. Elijah nearly stole the show, as most 3-day old babies might, but love was in the air and the focus was, rightly so, on the bride and groom.

3 out of 4 kids are just head-over-heals for their little brother. Poor Noah, I think he is disappointed that Elijah doesn't or can't play with him just yet... we kept telling him it would be a while but he must have thought we were exaggerating. We weren't. Sleeping, crying, eating and making dirty diapers... that's pretty much the game plan for the next several months.

Haley and Elijah finally get some quality time together
Now Elijah is asleep for the first chunk of the night and I'm off to bed for a precious 3 hour sleep. And feeling lucky in my new role as Mom.
