a smile is a curve

that sets everything straight.

2:00 a.m. little guy wakes up turning his head from side to side searching for food. mommy wakes up to feed him.
2:30 a.m. asleep from his first go 'round eating. change his diaper to wake him up for his next go 'round.
2:45 fast asleep. mommy knows he's not done eating. mommy picks him up to burp him. 1 burp - wide awake...
3:33 a.m. as wide awake as can be but not fussing for his last go round for food; mommy getting a little frustrated because she is tired from every 1 1/2 hour feedings the last 2 days. tries to put him asleep...no luck.
3:40 a.m. mommy puts ren in swing and lays down on couch.
3:45 a.m. ren starts fussing and searching. mommy REALLY tired. mommy feeds him. ren gives mommy three of the cutest big smiles.

mommy not so frustrated and tired anymore (even if it was a 'gas' smile:) )

4:13 a.m. mommy and ren go to sleep.

.first kinda real photo shoot.

Warren Jay Ellsworth- our handsome little man

almost 2 weeks?!

I can't believe that on Monday, Warren will be two weeks old. It doesn't feel that long. The week he was born feels like it was one LONG day and he's been home for only almost a week. It's so nice to finally have him home. I will confess, when people said I would get less sleep than I already did being pregnant, I thought, "How can I get any less, I already have to run to the bathroom at least 5 times a night, how can it get any worse?"

I now understand :) Especially when your little guy comes home with his nights and days mixed up, or he's going through his first growth spurt, eating every 1 1/2 hours in which it takes him 45 minutes just to nurse!

None the less, I wouldn't have it any other way. We love our little guy and are just humbled & happy to have him alive and home with us. I love watching Seth with him. I knew Seth was going to be a good daddy but not this good;) He loves him some baby Warren.

I haven't taken a bunch of pictures since being home with him cuz I'm usually sleeping whenever I can:) but here are a few from random ones. I'll get some more here soon, he has the cutest dimples when he smiles in his sleep.



His last night at the U of U Hospital.
