Please help me welcome Domenico Ray Scappa to the world! He was born on January 16, 2007 at 12:31pm. He weighed in at a whopping 6 lbs. 4 oz. and a towering 19" tall. So far we really can’t complain, he's been a pretty great baby, only crying when he's hungry and quickly going back to sleep. However, we know how quickly things can change and how bad it can get. I can remember all of the sleepless nights spent pacing back and forth in the wee hours trying to get Olivia back to sleep after a feeding! So far so good though..... We know it's only been a short two weeks, but we're trying to remain optimistic in hoping he's going to be the easiest and best sleeper ever! BUT, we have realistic expectations and know this little sleeping streak won't last! So for now, I'm just enjoying it while it does! Notice I make reference to “me” enjoying his good sleeping. That’s because poor Chris is still getting up ever 3 hours or so to feed though! Sorry sweetheart, he’ll start making it through the night soon!:)

I have to say, even though Olivia isn't even three yet, I’m amazed how quickly you forget what it's like to have a little newborn! Just the little things, you know? In the short couple of weeks little Nico has been a part of our lives, he's quickly reminded us how wonderful each and every smile, giggle and silly face is and how truly blessed we really are to have him here with us! It really puts things back in perspective and realigns your priorities in life. Thanks for being so special little buddy!

I'll keep you posted as things change and progress! And I promise to try and keep the pooping and peeing stories to a minimum!;) BUT MAN, let me just say this, girls make for a much easier diaper change!! In the meantime, I hope you enjoy these pics and I'll post more soon!
