A little over a week has gone by since we brought baby Mack home. My mom and sisters where here until this past Tuesday so that was a huge help. He is a really good baby (no, I am not just saying that). He pretty much just hangs out. He is very alert when awake and makes the cutest little faces. Nighttime is as expected, we did get one night when Mack only woke up once but for the most part it is 2 sometimes 3 times a night, I am just glad he is not fussy. The diaper changing/feeding in one sitting at night is where we need some work. Mack is not a fan of getting his diaper changed so we were changing his diaper and then I would breastfeed to put him back to sleep and Tah Dah it was fine. Well since he is eating more now, if we change him and then feed him, about mid feeding he will pause...give me a look and then there is a mini explosion in his diaper (Thanks Mack). Therefore I have to change him again, making him angry and it is tough to get him to fall back asleep. Now I just feed a little and let him poop, Lamb changes him and then I feed him again....seems to be working.
Lamb is great with Mack and helps out a ton. Whether it be little things I need for myself because of my c-section or changing/dressing or rocking Mack. He is lucky to have such a good daddy...although he is already a momma's boy :) Below are a few pictures of Mack's first week of life as well as pictures of all the babies Ari (3 1/2 months) Saige (7 weeks) Mack (4 days). I think we laughed more than we took pictures. Today, Bianca and I did a mock photo shoot on a chair I have (now I know why photographers charge so much for newborn pics), here are a few that came out ok.
ROUGH LIFE...
How Dad calms him down.
