OMG ladies my patience is wearing thin here... any tiny bundles arrived yet? ;)
 
Oh my goodness. I haven't posted in days! So sorry girls. Things have been a bit hectic this week with all of our visitors.

Can't believe Luke is a week old. Z and I are head over heels for this little guy. :cloud9: We can't get enough cuddles! Our first week was great. We had a pretty good experience in the hospital, even though I was in pain from the c section. Now, I am doing much better and I can even walk up and down the stairs a few times per day. I am only taking motrin and it is a bareable amount of discomfort. I am amazed at how much better I feel each day. Luke is doing great. He is generally a calm baby. He sleeps very well at night. We have to set a timer to wake him up every 2.5-3 hours for a feeding. At night, he always latches and falls asleep right after eating. During the day, he has been able to latch well about 75% of the time. The other times, he has worked himself into a tizzy and can't eat until we've taken him from the situation and calmed him down. This usually happens when he's over hungry (due to guests being here when due for a feeding) or has been awake for too long before eating. We've had to use a few tricks for those tough times: pouring a little formula over his lips while trying to latch, putting my finger on the roof of his mouth to calm him and then doing the old switcheroo, and we even had to give him a bottle of formula once. It's sad to watch him struggle, but I know he's ok the majority of the time and it'll get better with practice.

Here are some pics of my handsome little man from his first week. the last one is a sneak peek from his photo session with my sister who is a photographer...
