Finally some rest...

Anna is sleeping right now, and it looks like she should be able to get decent night of sleep if Marek keeps this up. Anna fed the little guy around 11 pm last night, and then he went right to sleep so Daddy could take him back to the nursery. The nurses brought Marek back in around 3:30, fed for an hour, and went right back to sleep. Its 8:30 right now, and I just got back from checking on him. The nurse said he was snoozing like a champ with out a peep, and I could seen him squirming around a little bit. It would be great if Marek's sleep pattern stays the same when we go home (knock on wood).

It was a busy day for Marek and us yesterday. Forgive me if the times aren't completely correct as it is hard to remember the exact times now. He was circumcised around 8 or 9 in the morning. Then Marek's Uncle Chris, and Auntie Jen stopped by with little cousin Mason.


Later in the afternoon, Anna's fellow Moonlights, Maggie and Katie stopped by and took their turn holding the little guy. For those of you who may be wondering what the moonlights are, they are just a group of girl (I know that I'll get a hard time from them for saying that.) :) Grandpa and Grandma Mrdutt stopped by around this time as well, which was nice for all of them because they we able to chat while they waited in the waiting area while Anna was talking with the nice lactation consultant Theresa who has been a godsend in helping both Anna and Marek learn the intricacies of breast feeding (and here I thought it was as easy as just popping him up there and letting him suck away, guess that why us fathers can't breast feed.)


And finally, around 6 in the evening, Katrina and Jessica arrived with some more of Marek's cousins. Wyatt and Bella who are twins, Gabby, Polly, and Maddie. Maddie is a 1 year old and likes to pull out cords that she shouldn't, which causes the nurse to come running. This was also the time Anna and I had chosen to have out celebratory dinner, and it was actually good timing, because Marek was getting hungry, and Katrina and Jess were able to hold and comfort him while we enjoyed our dinner.



After they left, Anna and I had some quiet time even though Marek was being a little stinker and wanted quick snacks every hour. Then they weighed him again and he dropped down to 6 lbs 13 ounces, which is normal. Then we were at where this post started, with his big meal and big sleep.
