We're two weeks and four days in. Sleeping has gotten better. We switched to a lactose sensitive formula and it has helped with his gassiness and fussiness at night. However, the only way we can get him to sleep well at night is...to put the bouncy seat in the pack 'n play and buckle him in. =( I hate that!! I just can't handle the not sleeping at night. Mommy has to function the next day. Hopefully in a couple of weeks we can work something else out. We're still trying to figure out how he likes to be swaddled. It seems like he hates having his arms down at his side, but if we swaddle them at his belly he busts out immediately. Strongest. Newborn. Ever.
Oliver is getting more and more interested in Jonah, though, and that makes me happy! It's hard having them both be so young right now, but I know I will love love love it when they are a little bit older and they are BFFs. And I joke about sending all the boys (Levi included) to Scout Camp in the summer, but honestly, I can't wait to see how Levi is with them when they are older!! It's so different for me. I can remember a time in my life where I couldn't even imagine the future. Now I can't stop thinking about it! I will definitely have my hands full with a house full of boys, but it will be so much fun. I feel so blessed.
I'm itching to get out and play with my new Mommy friends and their kids, but I still haven't felt brave enough to take both kids out yet. I would feel better if I could find my Ergo baby carrier!! I have been searching for it and Oliver's potty for weeks...to no avail. The only place left to look is the boxes in my closet. I'll get to it eventually. Anyway, Levi's mom, dad, and brother (and maybe his sister? I don't think she's going back to Japan until after this visit, so hopefully she's coming, too.) will be here next week for Spring Break, so maybe they will have a day with Oliver and I can take Jonah to see the Mommies. I miss the gals!
Stephanie and Robert will be coming out to visit next month, and I'm super stoked! They get to meet the baby (actually Robert will probably meet him next week when he's here on business, if he has time), and they're going to be apartment hunting. It'll be nice to see some familiar faces!
Anyway, things have been going well. I'm pleased. =)

Glad to hear Oliver's taking an interest in Jonah - they're going to be SO cute later on when they can play together. I was always extremely glad that my sister and I are close in age, even though it must've been a complete pain for my mom. :D
