Miraculous. Exhausting. Peaceful. Challenging. Endearing. That's how I'd sum up the past week since Park entered our world.
First off, while I've been a little preoccupied going through the whole labor/delivery process and then adjusting to life at home with my new mom duties, Craig has been maintaining communication central and keeping me updated on all the new tweets, e-mails and Facebook comments. Thanks so much for all the love and support over the last week. You can't imagine how it gets us through the late nights and frequent feedings! We weren't sure how the Twitter feed would go last Monday either, but I have to say it was one of Craig's better ideas and now we have a great log of events/comments to remember how the day transpired.
On the home front, we're all adjusting to our lives being turned upside down. We're trying out the Baby Whisperer's 3-hour schedule of eating, activity and sleeping. You wouldn't know it by all the photos here, but there's been a lot more eating and screaming than sleeping ... or at least sleeping when mom and dad would like it. We'll keep trying, though, and are determined to get this little guy to get his days and nights turned around.
Zoe and Luka are also figuring out their new role as guardian and playmate. Everything is fine when Park is quiet, but they're still trying to figure out who's torturing who when Park is screaming his head off on the changing table.
We look forward to sharing more adventures and the infamous nursery video. And visitors are always welcome. Until then, peace out.

I LOVE the peace sign!!! He is so precious. And - predictably - I love the guard dog pics. Sleep, Park, sleep!!! Hang in there guys. You're doing great already.

Mom
SO CUTE! His hair is the envy of all baldies. Pinch those cheeks for me.

Everyone looks to be taking the transition quite hard.
Was it intentional that he is wearing a "green peace" shirt?
I love the pictures of sleeping Park. What a little sweet pea! Hang in there with the baby whisperer routine. The 3 hour thing is a little tough, but there's a big payoff when he gets to 4 hours. Our child care provider credits the routine for Alejandro's easy transition to day care. We think it has made him really easygoing because his day is so predictable. The sleep will get better. I promise.
Great pictures. How lucky we all are to have Park in our lives.
ONE PROUD GRANDPA
I would like to see one of him screaming to see if he looks like his Grandpa Howard.
Great Uncle Ed
Park is a sweetie petey.
He looks like a boy. He has the longest legs, arms, fingers and toes. A definite combination of mom and dad.
Question is, is he going to be a swimmer, musician or play baskerball? My guess knowing his daddy and Uncle Curt is all three.
Park Frisco is definitely loved.
