Yesterday, our son turned one week old. These early days have been such a roller coaster. Here's a few stats for you:

14
Hours Kim spent in labor, from when they began inducing her.

2
Number of hour naps I took during her labor. I'm sure this will come back to haunt me. It's a good thing my sister was there! P.S. My sister is my hero! She was with us at the hospital throughout the entire labor process, talking Kim through everything that was going on (she's a labor and delivery nurse @ Banner Thunderbird). When Kim's in pain, I'm typically the last person she wants to see :). But having Tori there with her was incredible and definitely gave Kim peace of mind.

24
Hours spent at the hospital after Jude's birth.

2
Number of times in a row Jude peed on Kim after she decided not to buy the "wee-guard" at Baby's R Us.

2-3
Number of times Kim's been pooped on.

1
Number of times Kim's been explosively pooped on. It was unbelievable... and everywhere.

12-16
Per day average number of diapers our little guy is going through.

2-4
Per day average of diapers that last less than 3 seconds.

7lbs 10oz
Jude's weight on Tuesday this week, after weighing in at 7lbs 10.5oz the day before

8lbs 6oz
Jude's weight on Wednesday this week. At that rate, he's gonna out weigh me before he's 1! That's doin' work, son! We're contacting Guinness this week.

0.0
Length, in seconds, that Jude cried while having his blood drawn for a second time. There's no phasing this kid!

3
Age, in day, Jude was when we dedicated Him to the Lord. Rumors are swirling that Brent and Jessica are scheming to have their new one dedicated even sooner. Good luck, guys!

Less than 2
Hours of sleep I got each of the first two nights he was home.

1
Number of late night car rides Jude and I took to try and calm him. He loves car rides!

6-8
Hours of sleep I've gotten each night since.

Less than 4
Hours of sleep Kim's gotten everyday since we've been home. Shhh... I think she might be taking a nap now... hopefully :)

20-22
Hours per day that Jude is sleeping now. Good stuff!

Countless
Number of hours I've played Mario Kart since we came home. This is easily my favorite Wii game yet. I'm trying to deny it... but I'm becoming addicted.

0
Pictures taken with mom, dad, and Jude in them.

4
Days until we're having pics taken of our newly expanded family.

13
Total number of days that we'll have been home before we have to worry about meals. We have some amazing friends and family who truly care for us. It's been so great to not have to worry about food; what a blessing!

0
Times I've picked up a guitar since Jude was born. I'm missing it...

12.5
Kim's level of beauty, on a scale from 1-10. She's such an incredible mother and the most supporting wife in the history of the world. I'm blessed beyond measure!

12-14
Approximate number of times Kim vacuumed the entire house the week leading up to the birth.

0
Times Kim has vacuumed since we've been home.


I've got a ton more I want to write about... and will. More pics to come too!
