mr. cute guy

things are going well here! sam and i have had two good days of communication -- nice rhythms of feed, change, play, sleep, play -- it seems like a good cycle to me. sometimes it's every two hours, sometimes three -- and YES sometimes four! if he is on a four hour stretch that means i probably have 2+ hours to myself. WOW! yesterday these four-hour stretches got me worried because it seemed like sam was sleeping all day! and then i of course worry if he's eating enough, ha ha. the kid fill so many diapers and continues to pack on the cute baby chub so i really need to stop worrying about this! but i don't really think sam was sleeping all day, i think instead sam was NOT FUSSING all day. i am sure fussy times will return, but i am gaining confidence that there can be additional aspects to my life that are not calming baby, changing baby, feeding baby, burping baby, so that feels kind of nice.

saturday we begin another stretch of visitors. sam's great grandma nemec will be visiting with sam's other aunt sarah for the holiday weekend, and a couple of days after that sam gets to meet his grandma who will be here for about a week i think. it will be nice for sam to get to meet more of his relatives (or maybe nice for his relatives to meet him...well both i suppose!). neat!
