Adjustment!

Wow! I really didnt think that Ryan would be the one having a hard time with the new addition. I guess I shouldnt be surprised as she has always been the needy child. Which I must say isnt always a bad thing because she gives the most hugs and enjoys sitting on our laps whenever she can. Ryan had a very hard time when Bekah entered our lives as well so I thought it was her age however Bekah is now that age with a new brother and acts as though nothing in her life has changed. Bekah is just much more independent I guess. Dont get me wrong Bekah loves Caleb. As a matter of fact she is constantly kissing and squeeling over him! Ryan kisses him occasionally but for the most part gets into a lot of trouble. She has spent a whole lot of time in time out which is no fun for any of us. As soon as Daddy walks in the door from work the situation gets ten times worse if that is possible! Im really hoping this phase ends soon before I completely loose my patience with that child. I know we will all get through this new adjustment with some time and patience.
Caleb has been a wonderful baby so far! I hope it continues! He eats so well and sleeps amazingly at night! He made it 5 hrs last night waking at 2:45am! Then slept till 6:45am! Wow up once in the night! He went for his first check up and not surprisingly already gained 7 oz. You see at birth he was 7lbs 8 oz but when he left the hospital he was 7lbs 2oz. The dr said it would take 2-3 weeks to gain it all back but it took him only 5 days to pass his birth weight. Because of this we get to wait two weeks to go back for a weight check instead of one week. Im very happy about that so that we dont have to be exposed to germs to often. Caleb is starting to have more awake time and just loves to lay on the floor near the girls as they play. He also loves his swing! To help him sleep at night he sleeps in his car seat. When on his back after eating he gets very congested and cannot sleep. But the carseat helps a lot making him a sleeping machine!
Ive had a couple of days on my own this week and they really went better than I expected. Probably because I didnt have to cook a single meal this week. Ask me next week when I have to fit cooking into my day! Anyway we are hoping that week 2 goes as well as week one has!
