P.S.
I love my new house. I don't know if I've written that in my journal yet, but it's true. I'm going to borrow Alex's camera and take some pictures within the next few days as our rooms come together. Everything's unpacked, but not put in permanent "homes" yet. There's not much to do, and I'm finally starting to feel motivated to make it happen. I've just been so tired since the birth. So much of what I want to do will require Steve's help, though, and I don't know how motivated he is to wrap these things up.
Also, Samuel got circumcised yesterday. Poor kid. It's never fun. When Isaac was circumcised, we were the nurses. It was just our doctor and the two of us with Isaac in the doctor's office. I wanted to be there because I wanted to see it firsthand to know what I was electing to put my child through. This time, I stayed out in the waiting room with Isaac while Steve went in with Samuel. All the nurses kept trying to convince him that he didn't want to be there. It's apparently very rare for a parent to want to witness the procedure. He stood his ground and insisted on being present.
Samuel's recovering nicely. He's stopped squawking every time we change his diaper, and he seems to be returning to his normal, content self. I'm glad of that. Isaac also had a quick recovery, so I had reason to hope for the best.
