We are still adjusting to everything new at home, but I think we are managing fairly well. If we could just add a few hours to each day so that we had more time to play with the boys and get a little more sleep...
Sam had a rough night last night, he was very cranky and was awake on and off almost the entire night. Since his stool output varies so much we never know if we are going to have a busy day or busy night. Yesterday we had a pretty good idea it was going to be a rough night when Sam had no stool output for almost 5 hours in the afternoon. It all has to come out sometime, but we prefer it to be on the low end of his cycle when we are trying to sleep.
Yesterday Jason took Sam out to a quick visit to the store and stopped at work with him, today Deb went out for lunch and took him along. We are trying to learn, in small doses, what it will be like to take Sam away from home for short and long periods of time and come up with creative solutions to what we encounter. We are determined to live as normally as possible and have Sam out and about as we would with any other baby. We have definitely learned that if you need to be somewhere by 10 AM, and you need to get Ryan ready, and Sam ready, and have all of Sam supplies ready, it is best to just forego sleep and start getting ready overnight :) .

Welcome to Sam's new website
The last few days have been pretty trying, but each day has gotten a little better. We are starting to get into a routine and were actually able to sleep for more than 3 hours last night. Sam's weight is still hovering right aroung 7 pounds. Sam is doing well right now and smiles a lot in the morning. He especially likes it when his big brother reads to him.
More than a few people have asked us to let them know when we are ready for visitors. We're ready. We may be a little tired and still trying to get used to everything, but we enjoy having company - especially if you have children who can play with Ryan. We are pretty busy on some day with nurse visits and doctor appointments, so please call first.
Now that the new site is up and running and we are back at home, we plan on updating the site with new journals and pictures once or twice a week, please keep checking back for new additions.
