Henry turns seven weeks old today. WOW!

The past week has been full of smiles and plenty of “out” time. Henry is responding more and more to mom and pop with smiles, coos and near giggles. He’s so freakin’ cute we can hardly stand it at times!

And to makes matters even sweeter we have been treated to four, five and even six hour stretches of sleep at night. In fact, last night we had a record six-and-a-half hours before I made John wake the little sucker up in order to prevent a river of milk flowing onto our clean flannel sheets.

In other, not-so-great news, I just wrapped up an intensive week of therapy at the chiropractor’s office. I’ve been suffering from back and neck pain since I got home from the hospital and it’s only gotten worse as Henry gets bigger and heavier. The doctor (who also happens to be my nextdoor neighbor) took x-rays on Monday and I found out that where my back was supposed to be straight, it forms an s-curve…and where it should be curved, it’s straight. Gee, no wonder I’m in pain!

So, Henry and I have been visiting the doctor’s office three times a week for the next two weeks. And, in order to keep Henry happy while momma’s getting adjusted, I’ve had to resort to the dreaded pacifier fix. Truthfully, I don’t see that much harm in using a “binky.” But, in deference to Dad’s concerns (thumb-sucking and future braces being but two), I’ve promised to only use the pacifier when Henry’s being fussy in a public setting. At home he’ll just have to cry it out.

That’s the news for now. Hope everyone enjoys the new pictures we’ve posted on teh website. See how gosh-darn CUTE he is?
