Calvin decided he enjoys sleeping for 4 hours at a time throughout the night! It may just be a fluke but the last 2 nights I have had to wake him for his feedings! (The first night I woke up and saw that it had been 4 hours and I freaked out and hurried to check that he was breathing!) He is such a good baby. We have our first pediatrician appointment tomorrow. He still isn't pooping much, I give him a couple formula bottles a day and I've been pumping between feeds to get him ready for next week when I go back to clinicals. We love laying skin-to-skin with him on our chests. That is where he spends most of his time with daddy. I got a Moby wrap and I LOVE it. I wear him on my chest (he's in it now actually) and he just snuggles up and sleeps for hours. And I have both hands free to get stuff done! We have gotten so much help from everyone and really appreciate everything people are doing for us. I can't believe this first week with him flew by so fast!

Laura-
I haven't had a computer lately to post, so a very belated CONGRATULATIONS!! He is adorable :)
So funny you named him Calvin, love the name, I literally told Scott a month ago that I wished I named Ashden Calvin because I think it suits him better :)
Glad he is sleeping well for you. I can relate to the checking if he was breathing story. I hate to tell you, but that fear never goes away. Even at 27 months, if Avelyn sleeps an hour longer than usual, I am in her room making sure she is still breathing! It's almost a curse, the fear that Moms have... it never goes away.....
Looking forward too seeing you and Calvin.
love- abby
Laura he's so cute. Enjoy your time with him and glad he's letting you get rest.
Laura & Korey,
Calvin is sooo cute! I look forward to meeting him in person soon. I told Mom I was waking up Jaime every four hours to feed her when she didn't wake up. Mom informed me I was training her to wake up. Let her sleep and she will wake me when she is hungry and the first night I took her advice Jaime slept from 10 to 4. Even though ,I would still awaken every 4 hrs to see if she was breathing.
Love, Diana
Enjoy the time home it does go fast.
