Wesley’s Second Day

The view I get cradling Wesley.

Wesley is not happy about getting dressed for the very first time.

Cuddling with Daddy after the trauma of being dressed.  It’s all better now.

Phew!  Wesley’s been awake for minutes now, and now needs to rest (read: fully conk out).

Things I’ve forgotten about newborns:

  • The little noises they make in their sleep.
  • They pee as soon as their diaper is off (far more disastrous with a boy).
  • They hate being naked.  (How soon that will change!)
  • All the people who come in to check on baby after the birth—nurses, NICU, hearing studies, TEDDY info, picture vendors, cleaning, food service, pediatrician, lactation consultants, midwives.
  • How small and light they are—and how big they make your last “baby” seem!
  • How cute Dwayne is caring for something about 1/30th his size.
