One Week!

Thanksgiving this year had Jess and I full of so much gratitude. Our little Calvin turned one week on Thanksgiving and we still can't believe that he is in our lives! It's been an interesting week too! There's so much adjustment that is needed to be parents, but luckily we've had my Mom nearby as well as Aunt Aly ( who I'm sure is already Calvin's favorite because she looks just like me!) , and Jess' parents came in twice to help us settle in. Plus we have amazing friends too who are always there to help us with anything!
Calvin is such a blessing to us! He's been such a good baby too, except the first two nights when he woke up every ten minutes! But now we have a little bed that goes in between us in the bed and he sleeps like a champ now! I actually wake him up to feed him throughout the night, and I hate waking him out of his restful slumber but the pediatrician told us not to go over 5 hours without feeding.
Everyone has asked me if it feels weird to have a baby, and it sort of does, but Jess and I feel like we've been waiting for him our entire lives, and now a missing piece of our family is with us. He is such a darling, and the love that I have for him is unmeasurable. And we are grateful that he is a healthy baby too, so many things could have gone wrong, and we are just glad that they didn't.
We gave him his first bath on Thanksgiving, and it did not go over well with him! He was screaming as soon as he was put in the tub, but once he decided that his freshly cleaned arm was wonderful to chew on he was perfectly content.
