Three Weeks Old

Wow, how time has already begun to fly by!  On Wednesday, Ethan hit the three-week mark.  Also, on Wednesday, the DurhamConnects nurse came to the house to check on everything and take all of Ethan's measurements~ he is a BIG boy!  He weighed in at 10lb 5oz which is 3.5 ounces more than Coby weighed at one month~ my guess is at least 11.5lbs by one month for this guy!


He is alert more and more and generally pretty content.  He is sleeping in 3.5-4 hour stretches at night which makes for a reasonable night for momma!  He is a quick nurser rarely taking longer than 25-30 minutes and often less.  Such an easy baby!

Grandpa and Grandma paid us a visit last week and completely spoiled all of us.  Plenty of snuggles, swing pushes, visits to the store, and work around the house.  Grandma even painted the entire dining room for us!  We were sad to see them leave on Monday!


Coby is settling into his role as big brother and is learning to be more and more independent~ this is both good and bad for momma!  He can often be found anywhere on the first floor with a kitchen chair trying to reach something.  However, he is also a big help and will gladly run upstairs for a burp cloth or diaper when I need him to!


Daddy has spent a great deal of his week working from home in order to help me maintain my sanity.  He will wrap up classes in the next couple of weeks and then will be around even more to help us all out.  We are so thankful for him being flexible and engaged with us here at home!


All in all, we are happily settling into normalcy as a family of four!  Ethan is a delight and Coby continues to make us laugh on a moment-to-moment basis!
