2 weeks

WOW! I can't believe that it has already been 2 weeks since John Mark was born... I have to say that this has been the most incredible 2 weeks of my life. Everything has been a big learning experience- from figuring out breastfeeding to getting sprayed during diaper changes... from a baby sleeping soundly to a baby screaming at the top of his lungs... from knowing what 3AM actually looks like to changing baby clothes at least 3 times a day (and not just for the fashion side of things...)- and I know that I have embarked on a lifetime of learning.

We've had a really good 2 weeks. Of course, my mom has been here with us... I guess next week will be my reality check! He's had a couple of restless nights and some really fussy times, but other than that he has been perfect. I will say that I want to know WHY babies (and kids) fight sleep so much?? If only they knew how good they have it, sleeping away the day!!

I went to the doctor yesterday. She said that everything looks good and I have premission to drive and carry John Mark in his carseat... I guess that almost makes me fully functioning!

All in all, I would say that parenthood is a wonderful thing. Even this morning, when John Mark was pooping in Micah's hand... and then down my leg... I was thinking how great all of this is. I wouldn't change this for anything!
