Trenton is a week old

So I thought I would post to say how spoiled I am as a mom! Hehe, well no not exactly I just wanted to give an update on Trent and myself. Trenton is really a very good baby, he sleeps really well on his own and usually only cries when he has to burp or has other gas related issues. He has a really tiny perfectly shaped head, with beautiful red-brown hair, I love it! The first few days he didn't open his too much (they were swollen from trying to come out face up) but he is starting to look around a lot more now and I love to watch him look around. Yesterday as I was holding Trent, and I determined that he looks a lot like Jonathan as a baby, and when I went downstairs to look at Jon's baby book to compare I was quite surprised by how much. He looks so much like him! I'm sure there are some Leishman genes somewhere.

When he opens his eyes he looks a lot like Josh as well, who was awake and alert for a newborn. Josh is turning out to be a really sweet older brother. He brings Trenton his soother when he is crying and pats his head gently. We brought out some baby bottles on day 3 and Josh decided he needed one too, I knew that would happen. Josh was so cute though later that day when Trent would cry he ran to the fridge to get his little bottle to give to him. Josh's favorite time with Trent is when he has his eyes open, he loves looking at his hands and feet. We gave Josh a little Nerf gun (From his little brother) the day Trent was born, one that he can shoot all by himself and he hardly puts the thing down, maybe he was in his good books because of that. I am so glad that he is transitioning well and hasn't told me to sent him back yet.

As for myself I am doing good. I am managing to get some sleep at night and that makes everything easier. I think I need to buy a scale to see how how well I am doing, but I feel pretty good so that probably is more important than the #'s on the scale. My thanks to all who have helped me stay healthy and well rested this week, I really appreciate it.

Here are some more cute pictures from this week, and stay tuned for the official birth announcement.
