One week old already?!?!

Wow.. newborns sure know how to make time fly!! I am so happy that Jonah is here, and our life is so much fun with him in it. I got home from the hospital on Saturday, and have been enjoying my time at home with him. He mostly just eats, sleeps and poops. I have been nursing him and besides a few little tantrums, he is doing great. He loves his rainforest swing and also loves to fall asleep on mommy's breast. He definitely has his days and nights mixed up- he sleeps most of the day, and we're awake most of the night. I really don't see how Joash sleeps through it all. But there's no need for him to get up since I'm nursing most of the night.
Jonah is already very strong. He's been holding his head up since day 1. We had a little bit of a problem with jaundice on days 4 and 5, but he seems to have cleared that up. It was so painful seeing them prick his heel and drain the blood out for the test. The second day we had to get it done, his Papa Marty had to walk out of the room- he couldn't stand it! On Monday the 27th, he went to the pediatrician and he was exactly 8 lbs! Everything but the jaunice looked good. That was the first and last time Jonah would see Dr. Rao. I have already made an appointment for a pediatrician next week in Tyler.

We are getting ready for the big move, and Joash and Dad are making a run with a trailer to Tyler tomorrow. They'll come back on Saturday then we will all head that way on Monday. I'm so excited because we get to go spend the night at the Beau in Biloxi on Sunday! I also get to see Amy and Jane for lunch at my favorite place, Yukis and i'm so excited. We are all getting anxious to move, but I will definitely miss being close to my friends.
