Adam at 8 days

Want to know the reason for lack of posts and pictures?  Well, it's because Adam is no Claire (if you get my drift).  He's slightly more demanding, more fussy, more restless, less sleepy, and less comfortable, but he's cute enough that I think we'll still keep him.

He's now 8 days old.  To me he looks like Peter with Claire's coloring.  He has light hair, maybe strawberry, but makes faces that are so Peter.  Plus, he sleeps like Peter did (well, didn't) so I am constantly calling him Peter.

He is fairly demanding and prefers to be held (though that's not too uncommon!).  He also is a very slow eater.  He'll eat a little, stop to burp, eat some more, stop to poop, eat some more, stop to rest, eat some more, stop to look around.  You get the idea.  But if I think he's done eating just because he's stopped, he'll start screaming and rooting until I've latched him back on again.  

We've had quite the week.  Grandma H was here helping, and what a saint she was.  She took the bigger kids out each day so Adam and I could sleep, since we don't seem to do much of it at night time.  She worked overtime and even painted my bathroom! What a blessing it was to have her here!
 
One of these days we'll figure out a routine.  I remember the exhaustion wears off eventually and I'll be fully functioning again.  One of these days I'll be a good mom again.  But until then I will rely on friends (and PBS) to help entertain my children.  Thanks to everyone who has helped thus far!
