We just returned from Henry's first check-up and he's doing great. He is gaining weight, but hasn't quite caught up to his birth weight. I'm sure he'll get there soon. He's nursing really well and is very efficient when he isn't too sleepy. His days and nights are still mixed up, but he did give us a little more rest last night. Well, he gave his daddy a little more rest. I still seem to find sleep elusive. I must say that the second baby is easier in many ways, even if having 2 children is more than double the work. i am definitely more confident, and I'm trying to appreciate every moment... knowing he will grow so fast.
Aubrey is up and down. She really loves Henry and is genuinely concerned when he cries. She seems to be taking all of her frustration out on us for this "change." I think once things settle down, she'll be just fine. Brian and I picked her up from school today after Henry's appointment and she was very excited it was mommy who came in to get her. It was our first car ride as a family and she loved sitting next to Henry. All in all, we are doing great. Here are a few photos from the last few days.

Pink is the new blue! He doesn't seem to mind big sister's hand me downs.

Jill, he is beatiful. I am glad things are better. I will see that mom gets to see these pics. Take care. Love, Aunt Barbara
Oh Jill, so precious! I can't believe all that hair! We can't wait to meet the new little guy... he is just yummy! Kisses to miss Aubrey from her pals in Fort Worth! Life is rough becoming a new big sis! ;o)
Good looking kid. Brian, give Aubrey a hug for us.
Dad
