One week old!

Sammy went to the doctor on Thursday and he's already back up to his birth weight. When we left the hospital he was about 6 and a half pounds. He was 7 lbs. 2 oz. on Thursday and I think he's gained even more since then. He had also grown 1/2" in his first 6 days!

He's been such a good baby. He is very easy going and hardly ever cries. His cord fell off yesterday and we're going to give him his first real bath tonight. I'll be sure to take pictures!

Andrew went back to work on Friday and it was a hard day but I made it! Taking care of 3 children on very little sleep is hard work! But, we're managing and hanging in there. J&K are big helpers bringing me diapers and blankets, etc. when I need them! They would love to help more actually. They love to hold him and love all over him. I think they wish he was awake more just so they can touch him. Jackson thinks it's hilarious the way Sammy's holds onto Jackson's finger really tight. Katie likes to "pet" his soft hair.

Here's some pictures I snapped yesterday on his one week birthday!

His eyes do open:

Trying to get a picture of all 3 of my beautiful children is a challenge. This is the best I can do so far:
