Well, we made it through our first night. Diana asked Amanda, "Are you living on love?" Interesting how that phrase has so much more meaning, even after just one day.
One problem we encountered was how to keep the pacifier in his mouth. At 3:30 in the morning, images of psycho moms or nightmare daycares come to mind. We learned from some friends that a trick is to swaddle him super tight, and to let some of his swaddling ride high so it goes over his face a little bit. Very nice!
While we're on the topic of swaddling, I'll share that the Gerber swaddling blankets we got from Wal-mart are a bit small for him, even at 7 lbs.

Congratulations, you guys! We are very happy to hear of the birth of your son.
P.S. We religiously swaddled Lara until she was about 8 months old!! I would not have survived without swaddleme blankets.
