Introducing...

Here he is: Gavin Elliot Koel!!! Christine just taught me how to upload pictures, so expect some more in the near future. Our son is absolutely precious, and there's just no other way to describe him. He'll be three weeks on Monday, and that seems hard to comprehend. In some ways it seems like it's been an eternity because--as any new parent can attest to--every day at the beginning seems like three days since you're up 'round the clock; but, in other ways, it doesn't seem possible that he's already almost three weeks old! Brent's back to work now (I was spoiled to have him home for the first two weeks), and I'm getting used to being the full time mommy at home. I could spend hours just admiring him...all his tiny features, his super soft skin...that is, if I could stay awake long enough :) No, really, I'm getting more and more used to living with much less sleep, or at least sleep broken into 3-4 hour chunks. I keep telling myself that I should be getting enough sleep in general, but I'm not sure that all of these naps qualify as good sleep :) But, all this said, Gavin is worth all the sleep deprivation I could ever experience. Speaking of the little dude, I need to go feed him now, so hopefully I can get back to this later. Ciao for now...
