Contrary to this picture with Lena holding baby Jack - he's getting big! Ok, so that's relative. He has gained over a pound in the last week....our goal of fattening him up is working :) As of Sat., he's at 6 lb 14 oz. Now to work on that sleep thing.....

Marla,
Jack is gorgeous and wonderful!!!! Congratulations to you and Tom (and a big "Way to go" to Jack). I got this today and thought you might be interested: www.providence/alaska/tchap/

I loved the Cuddlers group--I went a few times a month when I had Ella.
Smiles,

PS It helps to stop thinking of a full night's sleep as a right!
Marla-
I know the lack of sleep is very difficult. Kim is right, do not count on him sleeping through the night for a while. Some babies will do it but not all. Steven would not consistently sleep through the night until after a year old. It was 7-8 months before he slept in 3-4 hour stretches. Joining some sort of group is very helpful. It keeps you sane during the first year.
Update the blog when you can. All of us parents know how it is. Just getting dressed by noon and going out for one errand during the day can be challenging.
Really try and enjoy the time. Life rarely slows down so much. Life will pick up again in due time.
