A Short Day

Donovan arrived very mellow. I had to take him to meet Maris at the doctor's at 3:30, so he wasn't there long. Most of the time was spent taking a bottle. He eats very slowly and then takes a long time to burp! I joked with Avery that while we get really excited whenever Donovan burps, We tell Avery to say "excuse me" if he does the same thing! I never realized how much work it actually is to get born until I watched this little guy, more than 5 weeks early, struggle to learn the most basic things like how to suck and digest his food. He is now the age both Maris and Adam were when we got them--8 weeks--and I'm trying to remember details of them at that age. It's not easy; and at the time I thought I would never forget!
