Devin's Journal

What? He's a week old already???????

To celebrate turning a week old today, we gave Devin a sponge bath. He did NOT like it. This look of dread on his face before I even brought a washcloth anywhere near him should have foretold the reaction he would have. I'm really hoping he enjoys bath time more when he can be submerged.

He's starting to have a bit more awake time. When that happens we put him in his little cradle swing that Caren got for him or on his play mat or even just on the floor. No matter what I have him doing I have the same thought, "My GOD he's tiny."

I know, I know. Dax had to have been this small at one point, too. Or? Or maybe it is because Devin is part elf as evidenced by his ears.

I'm still a wee bit sore from the c-section but feeling better every day. The worst part is that I can't pick Dax up. The second worst part is that I am still pretty helpless (I had to have Cat put my socks on me today).

Cat and I agree that the second time around with a newborn is soooooo much easier. Dax was a very easy baby and people always say, "You only get one good one." I know it has only been a week and things can change but, so far, Devin has been even easier. That's a good thing. I mean...he owes me after what he put me through to get him here.
