4 Week Update

So Max is 4 weeks old tomorrow. Thought it would be a good time (mainly because he is so nicely sleeping in his swing) to update the blog. He is growing like crazy! We have already eliminated several outfits because he has grown too long for them. So basically all of his newborn stuff as well as some of the smaller 0-3 months is no longer useable. That's OK, I find we stick to the same outfits most days anyway. He is such a little heater as well, so we cannot put him in anything fleecy because he sweats so much. He also sweats a lot when sleeping on me, which is what we spend most of our time doing... snuggling! He sleeps about 4 hours at a time at night right now, which has been very nice. As long as Curtis and I get into bed early, we don't feel too sleep deprived. He is a really great baby!

Most people ask how our menagerie has adapted to Max, and I have to say surprisingly well! The cats mostly ignore him and the dogs are just doing their normal thing. Alex (the parrot) has not started to mimic any crying, but he will repeat "It's OK" whenever Max is crying. So fingers crossed, but it appears that the transition went well. It will be another story when Max becomes mobile!

I start school back this week. I have one class that meets every third Tuesday and one that meets every Thursday night. Hopefully cutting back on the hours will help me not to be overwhelmed, but gives me enough to do that I stay somewhat sane. I will also be working from home for the grant that supports me financially. I am so blessed to be working on this grant and that they have been so flexible with my pregnancy and Max's arrival.

Other than that, not too much is happening here. Just some new pics for your viewing pleasure!

He already tells nothing but the truth!

Looks comfy, no?

The three M-egos ride again!
