Hello everyone! Thank you for your patience as we figure out how to be a family of four! The week has been good and challenging all at the same time! Isaac is doing really well and is fitting in well. The first two nights were sleepless more due to a crying baby in our room. He would wake up every hour. I think it was hard for him to adjust to the quietness and darkness in our room. Then we noticed that he is stopped up in his nose and figured out that we need to prop him up in order to sleep better and to help him with a clear nose passage. Last night he slept about four hours in a row.... Wow was that nice! Also, the monitor is meant to wake him and his parents if he has a low heart rate or stops breathing. I quickly found out that the monitor only wakes ME and Isaac! Ari and david sleep right through it! Ari asks to hold him every hour. I have made her my diaper helper! She loves it! I am wondering if the novelty of him will wear off. Today I asked her to help and she told me she was busy...
I forgot how a newborn keeps you busy in so many ways. We have had a nurse stop in two-times this week! It was nice as she weighed him and he has gained 3 ounces already! I think that by association I have earned my nursing degree and by the end of his first year my MD.
So in summary I have been sprayed almost everyday as I change his diaper, our water bill will be cheaper as I haven't showered everyday, the oxygen and monitor are our 2 other children as they follow us everywhere we go and our room has 3 new pieces of furniture(a rocker, ottoman and bassinet)!
Oh and this is the first day I have been on a computer since Sunday!
Goodnight from the Iverson family of four!
