What day is it again?

I seriously can't remember what day it is anymore. I don't know if it's because we're up all night, and one day rolls into another, or whether it's baby bliss that has me unaware of the world that surrounds us right now--but either way, Holy heck, it's already FRIDAY!..an entire week has gone by, and we have our little boy in our arms after the many years of trying, hoping and waiting.
Man, life is good.

Are we tired?
Yes.

Is it worth it?
Totally.

Are we shocked by anything?
Nope. This is exactly what we expected.

Okay, well maybe going through 3 diapers in one change earlier this week had us in disbelief...we went from a simple wet diaper change, to projectile pee on the fresh diaper as it was being fastened, then immediately followed by projectile poop on the 2nd diaper. It definitely had us laughing and thinking that diapers are going to be hot commodities around here.

Lunch date with Brie's sister

So, what else did we do besides marvel at our "perfect" son ( yes, we think he's perfect, like all parents do)?? Well, we hit the pediatrician's office on Wednesday for his first newborn check-up..again, he peed everywhere ( notice a trend here?) but the visit went well, and we like the pediatrician we selected.

On Thursday, NZ had to work for a bit, so my sister came down and visited Sal and me. She folded laundry, brought us a tray of frozen enchiladas, and helped me out by carrying around a basket at CVS while I bought some items that are most necessary in those first days post-partum. After our CVS stint where I may or may not have also thrown some EASTER candy into my basket (can you believe it's out already?) for my ol man and I, we went over to one of our favorite Mexican take out places. Since Sal was sleeping so sweetly, we decided to make a date of it, and ate outside and soaked up the sun and fresh air.

Not too shabby for a week that's flown by.

and....we're still alive (=
