One Week!

I can't believe it's been one week. In one respect it feels like Briar has been a part of our family for longer and then it seems like the time flew by! Dan had to go back to work today :( It was fun having total family bonding time, so that will be missed. However we both were getting on each other nerves towards the end of the week LOL! I will be taking 3 months leave (now only 11 weeks left) and then when I go back Dan will take his other 3 weeks. We won't have to put Briar in day care until beginning of November, yay!

Now that I'm on my own during the day and I'll also have the nights I will definitely need to learn to sleep when Briar is sleeping, instead of putzing around the house or on the Internet. I'm sure after a couple of days of barely any sleep I'll learn fast but right now I'm a newbie mom ;-)

Tomorrow we will be taking him for his 2 month check up. I'm sure he is now at least 10 lbs, he is such a little butter ball which is great considering his weight at birth. I will post an update after the appointment.

Here is a link to some hightlights from last week.

Hey Linda,
How's the first day being a mom on your own? Love the photos of the little slugger. We'll have to pick a nice day when it's not to hot to take him for a walk (even if I'm supposed to be working....). Let me know if you need anything.

Hello Linda and Dan!
Congratulations on your first week as parents! You deserve a little pride I think. You guys look great. And Briar looks like the little boss he deserves to be. Love from all of us here in Kenora.

I am very happy for you both. Unfortunately I can't get to your pictures from work, but I'm definitely looking forward to meeting him. I'm glad your first week went well. It's a good sign that he's doing a 5 hour stretch every once in a while for sleeping at night...
