| Sister Bella |
Henry is a week old today and it's hard to imagine life without him. It obviously was a week of firsts for everyone. For Henry, it was his first car ride, first introduction to his new older sister Bella, and his first walk of many to the Roasterrie in his stroller. For Reggie, it brought his first ever diaper change. For Laura, it was her first guilt-free drink in over 9 months! And overall, this was a week about getting to know one another. Henry struggled with nursing up until Day 6 when magically he got it! We think the lactation specialist at St. Luke's must have had some sort of special voodoo spell she cast, because after our appt. with her on Monday, all of a sudden he got it pretty much all the time.
The meeting of Henry and Bella went great! Bella occasionally will just walk up to Henry, sniff, and lick once, and then walk away. When he cries in the middle of the night, Bella will just look at one of us as if to say, "Are you freaking serious, it's 3:30am!!!"
The week also brought with it a number of meetings - Grandparents, aunts, and many good friends. One thing is very evident already this early on - Henry is going to be a very loved little boy! Thank you to all our great friends and family for all the support throughout the whole pregnancy and birth!!!
