108 + 4 Weeks

This week is kind of a blur.  Arley has good days and bad days, good nights and bad nights.  Last night was a good night, but the night before was just about as bad as you can imagine, with Arley screaming and rigid for half the night (definite gastric pain, I think).  But he has been making up for lost sleep.  Right now he is sound asleep, in the sling on my chest, but sound asleep no less.  He was four weeks old on Tuesday, and he will be a month old tomorrow.  This past month has gone really quickly but also SO slowly.  Arley is about a 1000 times easier than Carmen was at the same age, so we are counting our blessings.

Carmen has had a cold this week, but has been happy and as well behaved as can be expected.  She loves to hold her brother, but she thinks he cries a lot.  At her school there is a poster board and on it is written who is in each child's family and Carmen's answer was, "Mummy, Daddy and Monkey".  No mention of Arley at all!  So, I think he hasn't affected her life too much :) 

Thanks Aunt Shirley for Carmen's outfit!
