Week One with Pepper

This first week home with a new little one definitely has had its ups and downs. Pepper dropped a lot of weight right after birth so we have been feeding her every 2 hours. Keep in mind that every 2 hours is from the start of one feeding to the start of another. It takes her 30 min-1 hour to eat, so you can imagine what a full time job this is. Sleep deprivation is the biggest challenge for Jo and I as we do best with 8-9 hours/night of sleep. We are walking around like zombies and Jo still is out on the job site every day trying to work. Thankfully he has not had any large mishaps yet. No matter how tired I get, one look at Pepper really makes it all worth it. She is amazing!

She is amazing...and so are you two for getting through this first crazy period of time as new parents. Glad Jo is cultivating her sense of humor early with P. Mcmanus. :)Love and prayers are with you as you start the third week of life with Pepper.
