Week 2

Well, the family seems to be coming together nicely. Lindsay is finally starting to feel better, and we are both feeling more and more comfortable with Carter. His routine helps us to remember that there really are no surprises. We've always got a gameplan in the back of our minds in any given scenario, ie: if he starts crying shortly after a meal, then he just needs to fuss a little while by himself before he falls asleep.
























Week #2 consisted of me transitioning back to work - staff meeting was tough on Monday, but work got easier as the week progressed. Lindsay's mom came over 3 days to help Lindsay and Carter during my transition. Grandma has been such a big comfort - she really has the touch! This weekend we made our first road trip to Mansfield to visit my parents and to allow me to break away for h2o's Fall Getaway at Pleasant Hill Outdoor Center. Grandma and Grandpa had a great visit with the little man, but Miss Kitty seemed passively jealous. I'm sure she'll adjust to her new nephew. Overall, life is good. Lindsay and I are starting to see how life will eventually look with our new son. Overwhelming feelings are fading and we are having some great bonding times with Carter. If you haven't met him yet, be sure to give us a call to stop by!
