Jack Settles In

UPDATE: if you are planning on stopping by on Sunday, please call ahead. I think we are postponing visiting day until a later date. All is well, it's just that chores build up and we'd like the weekend to do them.



It's the schedule that has to be worked out. Not his. He's only a few days old and we really can't pressure him with timecards and a blackberry.

Our schedule however, has to gell pretty quickly, or else we'll all go crazy from lack of sleep. This was foreseen, 'cause we read books and listen to other parents. That's just the way we are. But the hard cold fact of dealing with a newborn can only be experienced first hand to be fully realized.

The first night was tooooouuuuughh. The second easier. And the third, well, we'll see tonight. I go back to work tomorrow, so the pressure is on Michelle and her Mom to get some rest tonight to fill in for the absent player (me).

Pee has been in the air. And on Michelle. And other places. Not on me yet, but it's just a matter of time. Do not asked for whom the pee spritzes. It spritzes for thee.

Still, he's a trooper, a real cutie pie, with intelligence in his eyes.

Oh and by the way, thanks to everyone for the messages and congratulations (mostly offsite). Your notes really give us confidence and warm our spirits. He's a special, loved boy and it's good to know we have all of this support.

Double thanks to folks who have chipped in with baby supplies and gifts. Tremendously helpful!!!!!

UPDATE: This Sunday is visitor day. Come on by and see John Liam any time after 10:00am and before 7:00pm.
