Oh my. What have we gotten ourselves into?!
I'm just kidding of course - with all the planning that went into having this child, we were actually fairly prepared to most of what the first week had to offer. We've been extremely lucky in that Santino's (or Sonny's) first week was much like the entire pregnancy - straight from the text books for the most part. Of course we've had mostly sleepless nights, some difficulty getting accustomed to the feeding schedule, and with Walter feeling ill we really had our hands full.
On that note, Walter seems much better. He must have stuck his snout somewhere it shouldn't have been and either had a reaction to whatever was in there or got bit by something. So, he swelled up with hives all over his face at first, then his whole body. Another delightful symptom was nausea - and lots of it. So, after several trips to the vet we have a heavily medicated dog who seems to be doing better today.

I was miraculously able to upload a short video, in which I ask Santino "what's the matter?" We now know that he was hungry, of course.
Here's a couple pictures from Week #1, with visitors and all!

Great pictures, Lisa and Josh. But Sonny's musical voice takes the prize!
Thanks for the update.
