things i've learned in the first week:
- "wipes" technology is amazing. how did people wipe their baby off after changing, disinfect counters, etc, before wipes?
- the diapers with the "i'm wet" indicator strip are key.
- we have great friends out here. we haven't wanted for anything (other than sleep) since rex was born. our fridge is full, we've had company on a fairly regular basis, and when we've put out a request for something, it's been taken care of. we are soooooo lucky.
- getting out hasn't been all that hard. we've had to go to the doctor almost every day (my c-section incision isn't healing all that well) and rex has done a great job getting out and about. i had the pleasure of doing my first out-of-home feeding at a starbucks two days after being released from the hospital.
- steve is the bomb. truly.
