Our Teether and our Newborn

Noah is now 2 weeks old and doing great. He finally passed his bilirubin test on Tuesday. He was fighting a little bit of jaundice and had to go to the lab to get 'pricked' every day or two since we left the hospital. It was great news to find out that we wouldn't have to go back again.
Night times are never fun with newborns, but I must say that overall Noah's been a dream (no pun intended). He doesn't cry very often, and so at night we just wake up to grunting noises. It's kind of cute. He has been getting at least one 3 hour stretch in every night, and often does a 4 hour stretch. There was even a fluke night of 6 hours of sleep! Let's just hope he stays on this route. . . or improves.Hyrum is still being a great big brother. He doesn't quite understand his own strength or Noah's fragile little body, but his heart is in the right place. We're still working on it with him, but one upside is that Noah will be one tough little boy. Hyrum has been struggling with his molars coming in and so we've had a couple of nights that were not very fun. Hyrum would wake up in the middle of one of Noah's 'long' stretches of sleep, screaming and needing more drugs. We look forward to a mouth full of teeth. . .If we time it right Hyrum will have all his teeth the same time that Noah sleeps 8+ hours at night. Woudn't that be awesome?!
Anyway, I just love having my two little men. They're so cute together and will only get cuter as they get older.P.S. We'll be closing on our house in a little over a week!!! We're so excited!
