Cherishing the Rest

Peter Resting


Yes, it has been a while since we posted. And yes, it's attributable to the adjustments going on in our schedule with Peter. He slept well, and then he didn't. He nursed well, and then he didn't. And then he did, again...

Overall, he has really been doing very well, but he's not even 2 weeks old, so what else could we expect?

I know this is nothing new to parents who have had newborns, but it is a first for us. It has been nice to be home to help Amy while soaking up time with both Sydney and Peter, though I do have to go back to work at some point. The folks from church who have brought us meals may not have any idea how helpful they have been. Actually, I guess all of them have been through this at least once themselves, so maybe they do. Just let me say "Thank you!" here for all to see, and know that you have helped us get over some of the early hurdles until we get this thing called a routine worked out.

Well, that's all I have time to say. Three of the four people in this house are asleep right now, and I think I'm going to add to that number before it starts dropping again. That's actually what got me to post in the first place, looking back at our photos of Peter and seeing the above picture of him sleeping so peacefully. Those moments are priceless, are they not?

Oh, Rollin, he is SO BEAUTIFUL!!! Every baby is such a miracle. I am so, so happy for you. Tell Amy hi for me. I'll come for a visit, but not for a few more weeks. You guys need your adjustment time.

Blessings,
Mona

Oh, I just love this picture! And I love the blog. I don't comment often enough, but I do read. C.J. and I had so much fun visiting the other day. :)
