1 Week and 1 day

Colton is now 8 days old. No birthday cake for him though, just the usual milk.

The little fellow has his first appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow. He has been eating well so I'm thinking his weight gain should be coming along. The last couple of nights he has slept a little bit longer. (The first night home from the hospital he just shrieked the whole night. I guess he was adjusting to his new home.)


Things have been getting a little bit easier each day. It's still a pretty overwhelming change that will take time to adjust to. But he is precious and such a sweet little guy. You can pray that the three of us will find our groove as a new family and that we'll rely on the Lord when times are tough.


I don't have Internet at home so I'm writing this from my in-laws' house. I wanted to post some more recent pictures of Colton, but we didn't get them loaded on the memory card before we left to come here. So, I'm just going to post a couple more from when he was first born. Although he looks a little different now.
