7 weeks today...

Our little man is 7 weeks today!  I can't believe it!  7 weeks ago today we went through the most wonderful experience we could ever go through as we anxiously awaited our little Barrett!  He was precious!  A little miracle sent to us to watch over from God!  How blessed we were then but oh man how blessed we have been over the past 7 weeks!  It has been a joy to be B's mommy.  I have and am continuing to learn so much about this little guy.  I have learned his cries, when he's sleepy and he is starting to get a personality.  He is now starting to really reconginze things and really start to acknowledge Stephen and I.  Oh what a feeling to be able to comfort him when no one else cans.  I love that he depends on us but I know this won't last forver.  Everyone says don't hold them so much but why not?  I know that as each day he is growing and soon he won't want us to hold him. He'll be pushing us away wanting to go his own way.  I am trying to hold him as much as I can but at the same time not get him used to someong having to rock him to sleep or hold him while he sleeps.  He'll be starting daycare soon and they won't do that.  Daycare - what a scary thought...I am not liking it right now...

I can't fill this little guy up!!!  Every 3 hours like clock work (unless he is exhausted) he is screaming - feed me and occasionally recently he has started crying for food every 2 1/2 hours.  I think rice cereal is going to be my hero!!  :)  We put some in his bottle last night to help with sleeping at night.  I fed him at 7:30 pm and he didn't wake up till 2:40 am to eat again.  Hallelujah!  We should have given it to him at his late night feeding and he would have gone all night but hey I can handle 1 night feedings versus - 3 night feedings.  We will try putting in the late night feeding tonight.

Well that's all for now...
