one week

It has been a week since Daniel was born. Relatively short amount of time. Yet I still have no clue where the time went. Seriously, blinked & he was here. Maybe if I stop blinking he will always stay this way... So far: perfect baby (probably helps that he is number three. having been through this multiple times seems to make it easier). Even though he is just a week old, Daniel is already forming a natural schedule. His feeding times during the day fall perfectly into place with the schedule Joel and Lucas have. LOVE IT. And, luckily for me, he only requires ONE feeding between 10pm and 8am. LOVE IT EVEN MORE. Sleeps well, even when Joel and Lucas are wild and crazy or angry and upset. The boys love their "Baby Daniel". They always have to say "hi" to him first thing in the morning or "bye" to him any time they leave the room. Joel constantly asks to hold him. Both help give him his "blinky" (binky) when it pops out of his mouth. Currently: no resentment over a new baby. Robert went back to work today. Things could not have gone more smoothly for my first day alone. With three babies. Under the age of three. Maybe I am capable of this whole mothering thing after all...
Funny thing is, I totally have a picture of Joel poking Lucas in the head when he was born... Apparently poking is Joel's thing.
