We are at our three week mark and so far so good. The first three weeks has been relatively smooth for us. Thanks in a large part to the support of friends and family. I've eaten more home cooked meals in last three weeks than in a long time. Not to mention all the dinners, lunches, and snacks that friends and family have bought for us. Our friends and family have also gone on shopping trips for us, helped clean our house, and have made numerous visits. This outpouring of support has really made the transition to parents as easy as it can be. Kerala has also been receiving packages from distant loved ones on a regular basis -- which by the way we are tad behind on the thank you cards. They are coming but with a slight delay.
This week has been fairly low key for us. We had friends over at various times to visit and my mom was up on Thursday. Like any normal visit my mom made sure that she did all the built up laundry and ate a my pie pizza. Kerala appears not to be getting so cold during diaper changes and bath time. She rarely cries during a change and only briefly during her baths. This is a nice change from the first week or so. In the last week, Kerala has realized that not only does she have arms but that she can control them to some degree. She's able to get a finger or two in her mouth at times and when she's getting sleepy she throws her hands all about her face. She has also became more vocal this last week. She makes various squeaks and squawks during the day now while awake as well as while she's sleeping.
