Week one has passed and we feel like we are all adapting well. Luke had to have the "
bililamp" on him for his jaundice, but he is close to being done with that glowing contraption (see picture with
Steph), which we are looking forward to. He seems to be on a solid schedule in terms of eating and sleeping which has helped Mom and Dad get more sleep than we anticipated we might. Both of us are convinced that Ruby believes Luke is hers. She is so attentive to every sound and constantly watches out for what he's doing. She always checks on him upon coming in the house and sometimes sleeps next to him. She actually jumped into his
bassinet to "protect" him from Grandma Kathy before getting the OK from both of us for her presence around Luke. The affection is great, but since then we've made sure that she stays out of the
bassinet! We have both enjoyed Luke so much. Everyone says that they are much more fun once they can move around and talk with you, but we have both enjoyed the little things as he squeaks and pushes and moves his arms and legs. It is very cool just to sit and hold him, watching everything he does. We are looking forward to talking with him in the future, but are also quite content with where we're at right now.
