Looking back at the last two weeks (as we enter the last weekend of my paternity leave), it seems like a month. The first week was fun - we were playing Mommy and Daddy. In the second week, exhaustion and reality sunk in - we're going to be nursing and changing diapers for a loooooonnnnnng time. Not that getting up a few times in the middle of the night and making sure to be attentive throughout the day to Rosalie's needs aren't worth it. The honeymoon phase is over. Next week will be a whole new adventure with me at work and Mary still at home.
Rosalie's just about out of her Newborn size clothes. Some of the bigger stuff still fits, the smaller stuff has already been retired. We're trying to use the last of the newborn size diapers while we can; the rest we'll pass on to the next new parents.
Rosalie has had many visitors. Both sets of grandparents were here after the birth, the Anderson's returned again this week for a night. Janice and Jan have both brought food as a bribe to rock her. And she's met some new friends: Carter Alderks, Ellie Wallheimer, and Mallory Kotewa. More visitors are scheduled to come in this weekend and in the coming weeks.
