I can proudly announce that Matt and I were officially inducted into parenthood this past week with 'the trifecta'. Thank goodness for wipes, pee pee tee pees, washing machines, highly absorbant burp cloths (cloth diapers), and a good sense of humor! In one hour last week I managed to get spit up on, have him pee during a diaper change and get it on his clothes, and have a major poopie go free flying and 'break in' his pack and play. Matt has also experienced the trifecta - several times over! It seems like Mason knows his Dad is changing him and sees that as cue to let it all fly. ha! The great news: Matt's gag reflex seems to be strengthening with each new episode - there is hope!
It is hard to believe that we've had Mason for 2 weeks already, 2 weeks! My Mom left on Saturday morning - much to our dismay :( - but I guess after three weeks she maybe needed to be home - I am sure Dad was happy to have her back! So, today is actually day one on my own with him, and we're getting along just fine! It is amazing to me how quickly the day seems to pass. I had heard other new mothers say the same thing, but seriously, you think you'd have time - ha! Mason keeps me extraordinarily busy considering he is eating every 2-3 hours during the day (3-4 at night) and tends to have a long stretches of wake time (who said newborns were always sleepy??).
A note on our furry son -- Sammy is handling the transition quite well! He has sniffed Mason maybe 2-3 times and is extremely passive/disinterested. We are happy about this! However, he does manage to still get attention from us (see picture...apparently there is room for two on my lap!) one way or another.
Another positive note: my wedding ring fits again!! Yay!! I had to stop wearing it around 36-37 weeks and had been wondering when it would fit again... alas, today was the day! I am still waiting to weigh myself... I figure I'll put it off a while longer and hopefully be pleasantly surprised. :)
Good night!

Ahh he's so cute, I want to borrow him! Sounds like you are having quite an adventure, and this is only the beginning. Next thing you know they are in college.
