life with a newborn is full of firsts. first day, first night, first sneeze, first cough, first dirty diaper, first bath, and the list goes on from there. today we experienced another first with our son: first cold. nothing serious or life threatening, mostly just snot bubbles that suck in and out with his breathing, but the pathetic little whimper he whines to express his discomfort makes us "ooohhh" with sympathy. on his first sick visit to the doctor today he weighed 9lbs. 8oz. which is great, and now we are hoping he doesn't lose too much of that with this cold b/c he has to be 10-12 pounds when he goes in for his surgery, and our initial consultation is less than two weeks away. we are praying he heals quickly and easily.
another fun recent first, first smile(s). sunday night we were hanging out at starbucks with our friends sean and julie, and isaac would not stop smiling at sean. it wasn't mom or dad that got the first one, but some unknown, yet endearing, stranger. dad got the second one the next day, and mom had to wait all the way till wednesday before getting hers. the life of a mother is never easy; she does all the hard work, and has to wait the longest for the rewards.
now we are just looking forward to the next big first....first full night of sleep. sure we will see that one any day now.
first time with some of the strive group
