Everybody is awesome.

So Josiah is 12 days old as I start writing. This is his first Christmas. That's kinda cool. The "12 days till Christmas" start on his birthday.

We've been busy. If you are on facebook with me, you've seen the insane number of photos we've posted. I'll be honest I am trying to exercise some restraint. It's not easy.

Having my folks stay with us has been fantastic. The first night we were home they watched him during the night so we could get some rest. They've done the same a couple times since. A couple times my folks watched him while we went to the store and we are planning a date night. We are going to miss that when they leave.

Beyond that my mom has taken over the kitchen. She's cooked most of the meals and done most of the dishes. Everyone has chipped in on laundry and since many hands make light work, we've done okay.

We went to Target and got some photos taken. They turned out well. A few days earlier we got some taken in Harrah. A free sitting was part of the deal we had with the place we did the ultrasounds. The photos will probably be really nice (we go see them on the 27th), but the prices I've seen are not. I have no problem walking away without buying anything, but I am hopeful there will be some reasonable options.

Josiah is doing well and was back up to 6 pounds and grew 2 inches at his last check up. We expect him to be at his birth weight by Friday. The doctor seems pleased and so are well.

His umbilical cord has not fallen off yet. It's just on the edge of falling off and I hope it does soon. It is starting to smell bad. 

yeah, well what's your excuse?
