The Universe Has Changed

My life is now forever changed by the arrival of my little man. While newborns initially drop their weight and then start to gain it back - I can tell you that my little man is quite the voracious eater. SO much that he gained a pound and grew an inch in about 10 days. What a little piggy. LOL At least he is eating well. I can't imagine being a parent in Africa with a starving baby you know you can't feed. That would tear at every last emotion I had. I feel very fortunate that my little guy has arrived into a home that is warm and safe, where he is loved, fed and cared for. I'm excited to see his little face change over the coming months.

There are already things he does that we can tell take after one of us. Like he twitches in his sleep like some fine art expressionist - just like his momma. He stretches his legs and arms when he is waking up from sleep just like daddy does. He has the most intense expression usually when feeding that we aren't sure what that is all about. he furrows his brows together and just stares at you intensely. When I look at him - the top half of his face looks like Tony and the bottom half looks like me - we'll see how much that changes. He has his moms lips and arms - he has baby guns already - LOL. He has Tony's long legs - not to mention big feet, long long toes and fingers. I can't believe how long his toes are actually. Tony likens them to Michael Phelps feet they are so big. And well both T and I have a massive widow's peak so he got that too.

All in all - we are doing pretty good here. We of course have a couple funny things we deal with - like the floppy head syndrome and accidentally not supporting it at key moments. And constantly wishing we had a third arm to reach that thing that is only like 12 inches from the hand you can't use. Getting peed on has been quite the experience, or hell, even just changing the diaper to put a new one on to immediately have Logan crap or pee in the new one. Ok - do over! You find your self thinking. Or the - you can't possibly still be hungry concept after devouring more food than you think is possible to fit in his stomach and intestines. But he can prove us wrong - well sort of. Usually in that scenario - we find ourself wasting formula because he really only wanted like a half ounce more. Oh well - I guess it really isn't the end of the world.
