So Max has been here for 17 days. We can hardly believe it! Chris started work this week and I have been going to class. It will be a slow transition, but so far so good. Now if we could only get Max to sleep from 1am to 4am! For some reason, that is now his fussy time. Maryanne told me that once you get used to something, it changes, so to not fret too much about any one thing. I'm trying it, but sometimes, lack of sleep makes it harder.
The good news is that Max is eating well, gaining weight, and getting cuter by the day. He is fitting into his 0 - 3 month outfits, which is a good thing because we go through 2 - 5 per day! We still think that he looks like Chris, but he does furrow his brow frequently, which Chris says is all Mommy. We'll just have to wait and see. In the meantime, can't you see the family resemblance?
Then, the church with all our close family and friends!
I'm not sure where the time goes. Max will be 4 months on January 2nd. He is smiling, laughing, and "talking" to us. He's mostly a really happy and social baby, except at 2am! We have had a busy fall with visits from all the grandparents, ultimate practices, and play dates. I'll post more pictures soon on our Picasa website and hopefully remember to post here more frequently.
The boy is growing so fast! At my mommy's group on Saturday, I weighed him and he is already 10 lbs. I can't believe he has gained almost 3 pounds since we brought him home from the hospital. It's amazing. Every day is different. Some days he sleeps like a champ and gives us some time to ourselves, other times he seems to just want to eat all day and get angry when he isn't eating. That must be the Murray in him....
I'm at 38 weeks and can't believe how big my belly has gotten. He still sits up pretty high, which sometimes causes problems for my ribs, but he's also pretty easy to move around. Not even born and we're already pushing him around.
