Well, I hate to jinx my evening, but I am gonna say it. Last night was ANOTHER success. Maybe we're on to something. George ate around 10 pm. The feeding cycle was over close to 10:30, so we went upstairs for a change and a swaddle. After that, we topped George off with a bottle and then tucked him in. It was prolly 10:45 or so when he went to bed. I was quick to follow. A bit after 3 am, I was woken up by the little guy. So that was still four solid hours for me AND our only nighttime feeding. Only getting up once in the night is HUGE!! I have fingers and toes crossed that we'll be just as successful this evening . . . and every evening from here on. ;)

Today was fairly low-key. George and I both stayed in bed until about 9 am (after a 6:30 am feeding). Then we got ready for the day and came downstairs. Judi came over around 11 and I didn't even put her to work! She just got to hold and love George. After the 1 pm feeding George and I went for a walk with Gwen and Mason. I was impressed that I was able to walk as far and as swiftly as I did. I wasn't fast at all, but I did pick up my pace since Saturday's walk. It was 65 degrees here today, so a GREAT day for a walk.

Jeff came home and cooked us a fresh hot dinner. That was nice. We've been feasting on leftovers for quite some time now. It was nice to have a freshly made meal. He then made our favorite break & bake peanut butter cookies too. YUMMY!!

Today George is three weeks old. Three weeks. We snuggled on the couch for a bit today and I just stared into his dark blue eyes. We won't be able to snuggle like that too much longer. He'll get bigger and then he'll grow up. I'll have to stop rubbing his cheeks and kissing his forehead. For now, I like to think about what he'll look like . . . what color his eyes will soon be . . . what color and thickness of hair he'll have . . . how long before he'll walk or talk or sleep through the night. There is so much in store for us all and I am anxiously awaiting every moment! In the meantime I will cherish what I have - the sweet innocent soft George.
