1 week

I can't believe little Garrett is already one week old. It doesn't feel like it. He's continuing to do well and he's been a pretty good eater and sleeper. He has a little fussy period but other than that, he seems to be doing really well. He went to his first doctor's appointment on Monday and she was impressed with how much he's eating (3-4 ounces) and said he looks great. He weighed the exact same as when he was born and she said that was great since they loose 8-10 percent of their body weight after birth. We decided on just letting him sleep and not waking him up to feed. He's pretty consistent and wakes every 3-4 hours. The doctor said that was great. The only problem we've had is with diapers. He was wearing pampers and huggies pure and natural but he was having major leakage issues. We've switched to little snugglers and so far they seem to be working better.

We got an email today from our social worker and she said that his birthmom is doing well and is very happy and at peace with her decision. She wanted to know how we all were doing and can't wait to see his first pictures. Everything becomes official at midnight tomorrow night (Thursday). I've done really well with this wait but I'll be glad when it's over. We registered at Target and babies r us and everyone is excited about giving us showers :) Our church is giving us a luncheon on Sunday so that should be fun. Tommy went back to work today and so far, I think I've managed pretty well :)

Thanks again for all of your support and prayers! It has meant so much to us!
