Adjusting as a Family of Four

For the last couple months of my pregnancy, every time Peter, Sam and I came home in the car, I'd say, "I'll get the diaper bag if you get Sam" because it was hard for me to get Sam in and out of the car with my growing belly. On Monday, after our first outing as a family of four, it went like this:

Me: I'll get the diaper bag if you get Sam.
Peter: (just gives a long look)
Me: Oh, yeah. We have two kids now. I'll get Sam out, and you can get the baby and the diaper bag.

Today was my due date, and I'm so happy that little Charlie was born nine days early, and we aren't still waiting for his arrival! We had his first doctor appointment earlier this week, and he is doing great and gaining weight just like he is supposed to. His favorite things to do right now are to eat and to sleep. It's rare to catch him with his eyes open, so I had to post the above pictures that caught this special event. My mom came over to spend the day with us today, and it was definitely his most alert day so far. He was awake and very alert for a couple hours, so it was fun to see him and interact with him a bit more. The past couple nights he's slept a four hour stretch, which has been great!
