Oh how times have changed....

We have had a lot happen here in the last 4 weeks. Graycin has grown from 8 lbs 15 oz to 11 lbs 11 oz before he is 5 weeks old! He was out of all newborn clothes at 2 weeks and is quickly working his way through the 0-3 month sizes and has a lot of clothes that are 3-6 month that he fits in just fine. At 2 weeks he got a staph infection on his bottom. After 36 hours of being off the antibiotics the staph was back with a yeast rash because of the antibiotic... most likely due to the fact that I am a strep B carrier and he didn't get the second round of antibiotic during labor. Now he is back on antibiotics and a cream to get rid of the the yeast. Poor baby!

Noah and Christina came home after two weeks. It has been an all over the place adjustment going from two kids, to a newborn, to two kids and newborn... I think God mistakenly only gave Mom's two hands!

As for me, I think a shower on a daily basis, even a bi-daily (is that even a word?) basis is a luxury. Eating one meal a day is amazing, sleeping more than 2 hours a time isn't going to happen any time soon, being pooped on, pee'd on, and puked on is lovely and yet somehow every time I look at him, I fall more in love with him.

We are going to go to Washington to introduce Graycin to his Nanny and Papaw and all his Aunt's and Uncle's... plus his MeMa and Grampy REALLY miss him! Graycin and I are going to fly early in the week and Zeb is going to come later. Flying with a 5 week old baby is going to either be a breeze or a nightmare...

Here are some pictures of our little man as he is growing!!


Happy 4 week birthday Graycin!!
