Adjusting...or trying to at least

Well, we have been home for just 2 weeks now. It seems like forever ago and like just a minute all at the same time that we walked through the door. Aaron has had many firsts so far. His first outing was to the doctor, he has also been to grandma's, Wal-Mart and yesterday made his debut at the mall. He has gone "out to eat" with me, Alex and Grandma and was every bit of perfect. He is such an amazing little guy. He has changed so much-his hair is lighter and he is putting on weight. His eyes are a gorgeous slate gray right now. I am sure they will change as the weeks go on. He is lifting his head and tries oh so hard to keep it there. We have almost hourly fights with the pacifier-for some reason he spits it out and then screams until one of us suckers put it back in. Every other night is a great night. Alex has been a gift from God-letting me go to bed and then he does the last feeding. This way I get up whenever Aaron wakes up through the night. I am not sure that this is for my benefit or his now that I think about it! I usually go to bed first and Alex stays up watching tv alone, now he has a buddy to stay up with him.
Alex's parents and nephew get here Monday so it will be a very busy and cramped week. My Mom is still off work so she is visiting every day. Krissy took a few days off, but came the past two. Dad has visited the past two weeks. Aaron is going to be baptised on the 23rd so that Alex's parents can be here. I imagine myself crying which I don't look forward to.
Well, I am off to do a little cleaning, pumping and feeding...
