Our New Baby Boy

Miles is one week old. We're in a major period of adjustment around here, but are so thankful for the little steps toward routine and normalcy. My parents are staying with us right now, so Grace's days have remained much the same, with Vic and me playing with her between Miles' naps and feedings. Having my parents here also means that we've not had to worry about what's for dinner (we're saving the meals Vic's mom made for when we're truly on our own). Both of these are huge blessings.

We're also quite surprised and thankful that Miles seems to have settled into a bit of a routine -- three or so hours between feedings means that we can get 6-8 hours of sleep each night without too much trouble (albeit in two or three segments). Of course, daytime naps help too, and I'm sure Vic is wishing right about now that he'd brought a pillow to work today...
