Day 7

Brayden is 1 week old today!!! After using the techniques from the lactation nurse yesterday we were finally able to get some continuous sleep. Brayden slept well through the night giving is at least 3 hour intervals between feedings. So basically we only had to get up twice during the night as opposed to 5 times. The down side of course is the diaper changing. Every time I had to change Brayden, he'd poop as I was putting on the new diaper. I probably went through 15-20 diapers today.

To get Sherry moving around to help with her recovery we decided to take a walk at Huntington Beach. It was a great beach day today and we walked to the pier before Sherry couldn't bear walking anymore.

Brayden's Uncle Mikey (Sherry's brother) and Aunt Jamie (Alvin's cousin) visited today. They came during Brayden's afternoon nap so they weren't really able to hold him.

Brayden slept for long periods today. We think it must be the warm weather. We tried to feed him enough tonight so that we can duplicate the rest we got last night. Let's hope it works!
