two weeks

Baby boy is two weeks old! Well, technically he was two weeks old on Friday, but who's counting. We've been bracing ourselves for this milestone since this is typically when newborns decide to "wake up"  and show their true colors. I remember thinking life with a baby was a breeze with Surrey - I cleaned like a boss and showered at my leisure. She slept all the time. Then girlfriend came out of her labor-induced two week stupor screaming and didn't let up until she was about three or four months old. I thought I might never make it out alive during those dark, dark days.

Here's where I jinx it. Knox has been far easier in his first couple weeks of life. It's only a couple days post two weeks, but so far so good. He sleeps like a champ - especially at night. I wish that translated into he's sleeping through the night, but it doesn't. He's waking up a couple times to eat, as normal babies do. Oh, babies what's up with that. It might also help if Jeremiah and I didn't stay up until midnight. Idiots. Give me an inch of kids-are-sleeping freedom and I'll take a mile. For real for real. Especially when there is settling in and unpacking still to do. 

Speaking of - I know - I owe the world some creative posts to get up about the new digs. I become so unmotivated after I realize I never took before pictures of a project or a room. I'll get on it though. And I'm sure that will happen right when Jeremiah is due to go back to work, perfect timing.
