First Two Weeks

Beckett has been in this world now for a little over two weeks and we couldn't be happier and more in love! Parenthood is amazing! It's hard to describe what it feels like and all the emotions that come with it. Many of you reading this are parents so you know exactly what I mean, we're just thankful that we are now having the opportunity to experience it for ourselves. What a blessing!!!!

Although it's only been two weeks, we've been busy! Since Beckett is/was a "premie" we had to take him to see the pediatrician on the Tuesday after he was born to check his body weight. He lost a little too much weight so we started bottle feeding breast milk every other feeding to make sure he was getting plenty to eat. After doing that for just two days we went back to the pediatrician and he had gained all the weight back that he lost. He also started pooping and peeing consistantly and he hasn't stopped since!

We've been for a few walks, had professional pictures taken, been out to eat a few times, been to Target and even to the mall a couple of times! We've also been to church twice and Beckett has sat peacefully in his car seat without making a peep each time. I'm not planning on giving you the play by play each week but I figured if I told you what we've been up to along with the obvious other things (feeding Beckett, changing diapers, cuddling, kissing Beckett, napping, laundry...the list goes on,) you'd all understand why I haven't been updating this as often and also why I haven't been able to send thank you's to all of you WONDERFUL people who have sent so many WONDERFUL things!!!!!!

Uncle Kevin went home on the Sunday that we got out of the hospital and my mom came for a quick visit that Tuesday and left on Thursday. It was a quick visit (she'll be back in April for a week) but she couldn't resist seeing him before he was a month old! We have more visitors scheduled for this coming weekend and the following week! Grandma Cheryl is going to be here with Aunt Linda for a few days. Aunt Trudy and cousins Kate and Ticen will also be here next week! We are looking forward to our visitors and can't wait for you all to meet Beckett!

This morning I tried to catch Beckett sucking his thumb, this is the best I could do! So sweet!Keep checking Beckett's album to the right for more pictures!
