Settling In

We are starting to settle in at home. Starting to get the place in semi order. It is crazy how difficult that is with a baby. Alek is 10.3 pounds as of yesterday. We went to the doctor. He has a little cold but nothing to worry about. He is really starting to grow and change. It looks like he is starting to get some hair also. Some looks blond and some looks light brown. So only time will tell. We also can not tell what color his eyes will be. This part kills me. I just want to know what color his eyes are. I guess it takes up to 6 months. When you think about babies it really is a miracle. How they develop in the womb and when they come out they are alive and screaming. It is amazing to have created life. It is amazing to see life grow into this little being and think we are responsible for every moment of his life is awesome. Don't get me wrong I am scared also, but that just goes with the territory.

The greatest thing about my recent health problems is that I have been able to spend time with Alek and Kath. There is no question about that. It is truly a timing issue that is a gift. Not that I would ever want to go through what I am going through of course but you take the good when you can. I am feeling pretty good considering I can not eat much solid food. Mashed Potatoes, pancakes, eggs, ice-cream, Lipton noodle soup have become a staples. I can not wait for my throat to get better. I am sure you guys are sick of hearing that but that is what I am going through. It is a grueling grinding pain in my throat that will not go away. AHHHHHH.

Well it is a nice sunny day here in Hollis. It looks like it is in the upper 40's. Maybe I can get out and take a little walk.
