Equilibrium

Well, it's Anna again.  I don't know if my blog posts will be anywhere near as interesting as Nam's, but he is back to work and I finally feel like today is the first day that I can take a minute to get on the internet.  Asher is sleeping in his swing at the moment, so we will see if I can actually finish this blog post before he wakes up!

We were busy, busy this past week.  Nam's dad came to stay with us for a few days and got to spend a lot of time holding his only grandchild.  It was so neat to see, and Asher would just sit and look up at his grandpa for almost an hour at a time without fussing. I think everyone involved enjoyed it :)

They spent hours like this

Also, my sister Kim was in town for the past week helping us get adjusted to having our new little one.  She answered countless questions, completed lots of housework, made meals, snuggled with Asher for hours, and took the most awesome newborn pictures for us.  They still haven't been edited, but I will post the link to them once she completes work on them.

I'm very thankful today because we had a really good night last night.  I actually got a couple of chunks of sleep (2 hours at a time:)) and though that doesn't sound like much, it made me feel like a new woman.  Ha, ha!  I know every day will be different here for a while yet, but it does feel like for today we've reached a state of equilibrium where not everything feels like it's brand new and I don't know what I'm doing.  I feel like our little family has lived a couple months since Asher was born instead of 18 days.  But we know we are blessed with one of the sweetest little boys God could have given us.  We'll see what week 3 brings...I keep being told there are usually lots of changes around that time.  Now to look forward to my parents' visit as they arrive this coming Tuesday!!!  We are VERY excited :) 

Nam is in love with being a dad :)

Until Asher is old enough to smile, we are getting used to his frequent furrowed brows and scowls :)

STRETCH!  Look at those chubby knees!

This was the sweetest thing to see in person...made my day ~

We have named these the "crazy eyes".  He makes them a lot lately.
