I know how you feel. Took me months to get all my thank yous out and what not. My daughter is 14 1/2 months and it seems like I just had her. My son is 8 years old and it seems like he was born yesterday. Shocking how they grow so fast.

OMG 3 weeks is nothing, it passes in an instant! Don't worry, no one expects thank yous right away, esp. because you had to stay at the hospital. And 3 weeks is very young to sleep through the night, though some babies do it at 6 weeks, many don't until 6 months or more, so don't feel that your baby is weird. The first 3 months IMO are really really really hard. The second 3 months get a little better once they get a little more aware of their environment and can move around a little. And I'm hoping the the next 6 will get even better!

Awww....what a handsome boy ! Time DOES fly by! My oldest son is almost 10, and I thought I just had him !
Just be sure to take lots and lots of pictures and have as much fun with them as you can! Kids are more important than housework or anything else, so have fun with them first and have your MIL (or someone else!) come and clean your house ! |
