One week and counting

We've managed to survive parenting for one week. Alex's weight dropped down to 5 lbs even, but is now rising back up quickly and he's gained 3 ounces in the last 3 days. This may not seem like a big deal, but when you are that size, every ounce counts.

At seven days old, we are starting to figure out routines. He appears to be the normal baby and sleeps really well during the day and fusses and feeds at night. We'll see how he reacts to what happens on day 8.

Speaking of day 8, Alex's bris is planned for tomorrow. He's very excited. We have family coming to join us from Portland and LA which we are excited about. Unfortunately, the rain came and we didn't have time to build and Arc to get all of the family to Seattle from Portland. Believe it or not, my parents and grandma took a detour since I-5 is closed that took them through Yakima. That's a long way to go for Miner Burger (if you know what that is). We are very happy they are willing to deal with the excessive drive.

Hmmm, I think you might be overstating Alex's "excitement". It's been my experience that babies are none too fond of having work done down there.

Now I'm craving a Miner Burger. Thanks a lot. Maybe they can hit Burger Ranch, and pick up some New Balances (no one is going to get this), on their way home!

Mmmmm, NB's.
