Lots of Firsts for Baby Cal!
Baby Cal. What a good baby. I just love spending time with him. Here is a little solo photo shoot from our first few days at home together.
First bath at home!
First baby wearing opportunity, even though I have three kids! (Hi Cay!)
First family outing as a family of 5!
Caden sleeping...
On a forward-thinking note, I am going to try and implement a schedule in a few weeks. Right now, I am enjoying the peace and quiet of the sleepy newborn phase. Once he hits 4 weeks or so, I will try and wake him more during the day to feed and stay awake.
Here's what that will hopefully look like....good thing is, 2 out of 3 kiddos are already on a great schedule. So I feel like bringing one up to speed won't be as difficult. :)
7AM Feed Cal and give C and C breakfast.
7:45 Diaper changes for all boys, playing and talking, watch cues for Cal sleepiness.
8:15 Swaddle and lay Cal in crib for 1st morning nap.
10:00 Wake Cal and feed.
10:45 See above re diaper change, etc.
11:15 2nd morning nap.
11:30 Mom feeds C and C lunch.
1:00 Wake Cal and feed.
1:30 See above re diaper change, etc.
2:00 Afternoon nap/rest for everyone.
2:30 Mom prepares for dinner for C and C.
4:00 Feed Cal.
4:45 See above re diaper change, etc.
5:15 Cal catnap for 40-50 minutes before bath and bedtime, boys eat dinner.
6:00 1st cluster feed for nighttime - after waking Cal.
7:00 Bath, PJs, books, and bedtime routine with C, C, and C.
7:30 C and C in bed, Shaz and Jim eat dinner, Cal hanging out, then catnap.
8-9PM Dream feed, back to bed, and hope for the best!

Here is a first bath combo pic of Con and Cay in DC. In order left to right - Con, Cay, Cal! I think Caden and Cal look so much alike! That round mouth, and little tongue. Hehe.
And flashback to a pic of me and Jim in our biotech shop in high school in 2003. And then 6 years of marriage and 3 kids later in 2016. Wow, life is just crazy.
It's time to feed Cal. All for now..
xo,
Shaz
