Memorable Moments from Connor's 1st Week

What an amazing week this has been. Part of me wants to say "Whew, I actually survived my first week as a mommy of 2 little ones." But honestly, the overwhelming feeling I have right now is that being a mother of two is going to be the greatest blessing and wildest "ride" I've ever experienced. It was fantastic having Gary here at home with us all week. I was a bit scared when he left for work yesterday morning, but so far, we've made it thru pretty well (at least I can say that today!) Of course we've been taking loads of photos. So, I finally weeded thru all of them to show off some of the highlight moments from Week #1 with our beautiful Connor Scott. Like most newborns, he spends most of his days sleeping and eating. But when he's awake, he seems to have a very sweet disposition...AND he's amused us with many great facial expressions that we're learning to read. I know you've all been patiently awaiting some photos, so I hope you enjoy. The next blog entry (scroll down) has photos from his first day. What a miracle he is. Hopefully you'll get to meet him soon!

Just look at him! How can we resist this face? He's obviously having some sweet dreams.

Totally smitten.

Madelyn is doing so well with holding him carefully. And if she had it her way, she'd sit and snuggle with him for hours at a time.

Gas...or are you thinking about that yummy milk again?

"Oh, Hi Mommy. What's that thing you keep pointing and clicking at me?"

(He'll get used to the camera rather quickly, I'm guessing!)
