Just after Charles was born I held him. I was so happy to finally see him.
Brian and I are so happy he's finally here. Of course, I was a little tired at the time of this picture.
Charles sleeps in a bassinet in our room. Mamaw let us pick out the bassinet. Thanks, Mamaw, for our bassinet! He really liked being swaddled for a while but he's starting to get annoyed by it now. He grunts and really tries to get out of the blanket.
Here's Granny with Charles. She got to stay with us for a couple of weeks to help take care of Charles and spend time with him.
Charles was born on September 27!!! I know it's been 2 1/2 weeks since then...I've been way too busy to update the blog until now. Charles weighed 7 lbs and he was 20 inches long. He's so cute and lovable! We are all doing fine and I'm getting to spend time with Charles at home right now. Brian is such a good Daddy. Charles recognizes our voices already and knows who we are. We love him so much already!
After Charles eats and falls asleep, Brian gets to hold him while he sleeps. We found out he has a little case of reflux so he has to be upright for at least 15 minutes after eating. I know we can use the bouncy seat or swing, but he sleeps longer if we just hold him. So Brian and Charles get to hang out a lot at night before "bedtime." We worked out a system where Brian stays up with Charles until midnight (if he makes it until then) while I sleep a few hours. Then I take over for the rest of the night. Well, one of these days we'll be able to sleep more!
