3 weeks

my son is 3 weeks old. i can't even believe it! well, at 11:39pm tonight he will be 3 weeks old! if we are up, we shall celebrate with a little nursing bonanza and commencing of the diaper changes for the next few hours. 

my daughter has adjusted well. she wants to know where he's at at all times. she asks to hold him a million times a day, and he mostly complies. he's taken by her as well. she kisses him all over many times a day. 

he eats every 2 - 3 hours, sometimes every hour in the evening. he's colicky, but mostly in the evenings and in the wee hours of the morning. it's gas related. we've done everything natural and not, nothing gives the poor guy relief. hopefully, in a few months he'll outgrow it. until then, i just pray over him and hope that he gets some relief in his poor little belly. 

he sleeps about 3 hours at a time at night. a few nights he's surprised me and slept 4 hours, but it's the exception, not the rule. i don't mind though. i've had enough energy to get through the day. i don't have time to nap, and not sure i could anyways, but the days are flying by. too fast. there is always something to clean, laundry to be done, meals to be made.....it seems like just as quickly as the day begins, it's over. and my children are one day older. 

well, i'm in the middle of making my first homemade chicken pot pie from scratch. so i should probably go check on it. i'll leave you with a few beautiful pics of my little man, and his big sister...
