Baby Update

Harrison and I both passed our six-week visit with flying colors! This has been my fastest recovery by far, thanks to my placenta. I feel like I’m three or four months postpartum rather than six weeks. I was preparing myself for a difficult transition to three kids–everyone I talked to said it was the hardest number–but I think it was actually easier than my transition from one to two!

My midwife weighed Harrison and he’s now about 11 1/2 pounds. He’s starting to smile back at us and LOVES looking at faces. He sleeps like a champ at night, only waking to eat. We’re down to about 2 or 3 night feedings. He’s having trouble taking naps in his crib, but other than that, he’s such a wonderful baby! Here are a few pictures we’ve taken over the past few weeks:

Sweet baby feet!

This adorable quilt was made by Nathan's mom and sister.

He has the most intense blue eyes.

First smile captured on camera!

  1. Oh, those sweet tiny fingers and toes. Glad to hear you’re well. That quilt is so fun, and especially wonderful because grandma and aunt made it!
