One Week Old

Yesterday Luke turned 1 week old! It's been a chaotic, exhausting, but joyous week. It's been a major shock to our systems to be back on a newborn's schedule, but I think we're all adjusting well. Luke's eating about every 2 to 2 1/2 hours so there's little time for rest, especially with big brother Owen running around. Luke really likes to be held most of the time, but he's gradually sleeping better in his cradle. We've been really blessed by friends and family who have helped us out a lot over the past week by bringing us food. Not having to cook has been a big time-saver. Plus my mom has been staying with us to help out. She's been spending most of her time trying to keep Owen occupied:) Anyway, here are a few pictures from the past week. Now, I better go lay down for a few minutes before it's feeding time again!

Owen looks like he has no clue what to do with this little bundle of joy that has invaded his world! Big brother will rise to the occasion but there will likely be a few bumps along the way. We are so happy for you and Buck! Love you bunches!

I had the hardest time going from one to two with no sleep. But it really does get soo much easier and before you know it everyone sleeps all night and take naps at the same time! ahhh!! Love you!

Rest every minute you can and take advantage of all the help! What a precious, cuddly little boy. It seems like no time ago that Owen was just that size--time flies quickly!
