Sam did wake up this morning with his right eye crusted over. I called the pediatrician and the nurse called me back to say that it was probably a clogged tear duct which is very common. She instructed me to clean it with a cotton ball and warm water with each diaper changing and then to gently massage the corner of his eye with my ring finger (weakest finger) for the next three days. If it hasn't cleared up...we'll need to come in and let his doctor take a peek. The good thing is that the white of his eye is not red which could be a sign of something more serious. Whew! He's definitely not a fan of the treatment the nurse ordered, but he's hanging in.
He's growing so fast! He has a little belly and his newborn onesies and diapers are almost too small. He's not even three weeks old yet! It truly is amazing to watch how quickly they change. Sam and I are definitely missing Brandon during the day, but he's coming home for lunch to check on us and hang out which makes both of us very happy.
Here are a few pics from the last two days. I'll be posting again very soon to report on how his introduction to the bottle went. We're going to give it a go tonight...Brandon is VERY excited about getting to feed him and I'm excited about the time off....and my girls sure are, too! ; )
Hope everyone is well. Ciao.

Hm. Someone ignored my demand for no published photos. *cough cough*.
Hope little man's eye gets better soon. Man he seems to have grown a ton since Sunday.
