Happy One-Week Birthday

Carter is officially a week old today although it seems like we've been gone from work for more than a week. Everything continues to go well at home and we're now enjoying a visit from Leslie's parents. Breastfeeding has been a pleasant surprise and is going very well for us. Engorgement was a little uncomfortable but only lasted 36 hours or so. We also washed our first load of cloth diapers which was a rewarding experience knowing how much better they are for Carter and the world in general. They are much easier than we expected thanks mostly to a generous donation of diapering supplies from our good friends Lucas and Andrea. Even our sleep schedule gets better every day with Carter now sleeping in three-hour chunks between 10 pm and 6 am. He even slept through his first state of the union address, although we did hear diaper noises, maybe he's forming his first political opinions?
