B-Day Plus 3

I realized after my "He's Here" post that you all hadn't seen his head of black hair under that cap! My mom said today that he looks like her babies, and I think he definately has Stauffer eyes and chin.


Here is a pic from this morning.




Were having Pete's mother and brother for dinner tonight, so he's been preparing a few things to add to what they're bringing. Natalia was thrilled to help stir the nalesniki (crepe) batter. All of the chopping he was doing earlier for the Polish Vegetable Salad wasn't something she could lend a hand with. If I remember later I'll take a picture of our traditional spread.





When you think of us, please pray that we would have the grace and strength to make all the transitions necessary in the upcoming days and weeks. Adam has his nights and days mixed up and is wanting to nurse (or camp out there) constantly. I am so very thankful he's feeding well--just not getting any sleep as a result. (Last night I think he wanted to set a record or something. He rooted like crazy for nearly 5 hours straight.) Talking with a nurse this afternoon gave me a gameplan--but I still need much strength and patience as Adam settles into a routine.




For now though we are simply enjoying having some days at home, relaxing and being with those we love.



Merry Christmas Eve Everyone!
