Anyway, I was pretty disappointed to say the least, but in the last two weeks (and three days), I've had better luck. In fact, despite the inevitable difficulties I've had nursing the little guy, he gained a whole pound by his two week check-up, and I'd lost over 20 pounds!
In other updates, Samuel is a little angel. He only cries when he's hungry or sleepy, and he's very easy to comfort. He watches us curiously when he's awake. He rolled over from his stomach to his back twice today. Tommy and Joey love his "funny hair" and his tiny feet that sometimes wriggle their way out of his pajamas. We just adore him. It's been a typical tiring first two weeks (thank goodness we survived), although he's not as distinctly nocturnal as the other boys were. We've received a lot of service from friends in our ward and from our parents, which has been great. Tommy and Joey have been pretty wild and unruly, but we attribute that just as much to being couped up in our house in these sub-zero temperatures as to the arrival of the new baby. Jon is really enjoying his new job, and I'm enjoying having him home during the afternoons.
Here are a couple of pictures...and we'll have some darling professional newborn pictures to post soon.
Typical Joey

That's crazy you only six pounds after the delivery. I've never weighed myself after, so now I'm curious about that. I can't believe you've lost 20 pounds in two weeks and Samuel is already rolling over! He is such a cutie and you look fabulous. Love ya!
P.S. I meant to say, "That's crazy you only LOST six pounds after the delivery." :)
