Happy 2 week birthday Thomas!
You are already growing so much mommy and daddy and big sister can't believe it. We went for your two week weight check today and you were already up to your birth weight plus a few ounces. 6 lbs 11.2 oz!
I was very pleased to see that number. I have been exclusively breastfeeding (except for 1 oz of formula in the hospital because he was not having a good day) and so far it is going great. Savannah never did very will with nursing and I felt like we constantly had to supplement with formula but so far, Thomas has caught on and is doing great. I will admit sometimes it is difficult, especially when he decides he is hungry and hour or so after he has already eaten but, I realize with a newborn, that is just part of it.
The past couple of nights have been rough. Thomas has decided that when we are ready for bed, he wants to be wide awake and fussing. It all starts between the 9 and 11 PM hours and he usually doesn't settle down until the wee hours of the morning, like 3 AM. Can we say, HUGE lack of sleep?! It is all worth it though. As he is laying there fussing, keeping us awake, I can't help but think, how fast he is going to grow up and before long I will be wishing he was a baby again. I am hanging in there and I think Aric is too. Bless his heart; at least I have the opportunity to take naps during the day, he is up all night helping me and then at work all day. He is wonderful! Aric, if you are reading this, I LOVE YOU and THANK YOU for being you.
Next week we are having some pictures taken of Thomas. A sweet friend is an amatuer photographer and trying to build up her portfolio. She offered to take some photos of Thomas while he is still little so, be on the look out for those sooon.
Today also marks the end of my "no driving" days. The only problem is, I am still not supposed to lift anything heaving than Thomas for 4 more weeks so, being able to drive now really doesn't help me out. Oh well, I am recovering well from my c-section and am very pleased with the progress I have made. :)
Well, my down time is about up. Both kiddos are napping but I hear one of them stirring so I better hop to it.
Have a great day everyone! God Bless!
Emily
