Our amazing son

I swear this kid must be a month overdue! He is so advanced. We went to the doctor yesterday, who was my childhood pediatrician. I made him feel old. Anyway, they were impressed that Cole is already raising his head and sleeping through the night. In fact, we are participating in a program called Healthy Development, and the lady used the two week infant checklist while speaking with us. Every single item on the two week checklist was checked. We were told that we are doing a really good job in picking up on his signals, and are shaping up to be great parents. Since we have no idea what we are doing, this was great to hear!

The pediatrician told me I was looking really well and couldn't believe I had had a c-section just a week ago. It really made me feel great to hear that!

Sharon and Steve are here, they arrived last Saturday and will be here till Sunday. We are having a very nice visit, and they are loving the time with Cole. Mom and Dad will be stopping by this evening on the way down to Myrtle Beach. I am looking forward to seeing them again. They came and spent Tuesday-Saturday here while I was in the hospital, and just generally took a load off my mind with the dog, and helping us by doing all sorts of things. Mainly just having them here made us feel so much better about the situation. Sometimes a girl just needs her parents!

Mom intends to come stay with me from Sunday until Tuesday, and Lindy will be staying with me on Wednesday and Thursday afternoon.

Oh, and I didn't share the blanket Mom made for Cole! It is the most beautiful quilt I have ever seen. The flowers at the bottom are blue hydrangea and tangerine calla lilies (our wedding flowers). The dragon fly is made of ribbon from our wedding. The border is the cream eyelit lace from Cole's curtains. The whole thing is just beautiful and fits perfectly in the nursery. I will add pictures of the nursery in general as soon as I get some good shots. Troy won't let me climb steps more than twice a day until I am healed, so I am stuck in the living room unless absolutely necessary.
