Week Nine: Nov 18th - Nov 24th

Nov 18^th

Happy Birthday Mumma!  The day started with a visit from Nurse Lora.  You’re doing so well that this was her last visit.  Then it was off to the Publick House in Sturbridge to pick up a cake.  While there we had lunch and then spent the rest of the afternoon food shopping.  In the evening you helped Mumma blow out the candles on her cake.

This is the position we often find you in- turned sideways in your crib- arms up.

You’re getting so big!  Yesterday you weighed 8lbs, 13oz for Nurse Lora, but today at the pediatrician you weighed 8lbs, 11oz.  You also got a vaccine for RSV.  In the afternoon we had a visit from Donna from Early Intervention.  But the most fun was at night when Mumma and Daddy’s friends came over for Game Night.

Today was the first time since you came home from the hospital that both Mumma and Daddy left you for a while.  You spent some time with Granpa and Nana while Mumma and Daddy went to see the new Harry Potter movie.  I think you slept during most of your visit.  Then we went to Daddy’s store to pick up a puzzle he sold elsewhere and to see how his sales were doing.

Nov 21^st

After an exciting (you slept the entire time) trip to Home Depot to buy a fridge- there’s so much frozen breast milk that we needed a larger fridge, plus an extra for the basement- Daddy went to work, but Uncle Andrew and Aunt Gentry came over for an evening of games with Mumma and doting on their favorite nephew.

Nov 22^nd

Happy 2 month Birthday!  You spent a couple of hours this afternoon running errands with Mumma, but other than that, it was a quiet day at home.  In the evening you started to get really fussy wanting to be held.  Hopefully this night won’t be as bad as Saturday night, where you fussed all night long- or at least until about 5 or 6 am.

 

Nov 23^rd

After a quiet morning at home, we headed out to a local yarn store so that Mumma could get yarn for a hat for you to wear in December and also yarn for something that Grandma is going to knit for you.  Next stop was the cloth diaper store in Somerville for a larger wet bag.  We headed home and you continued your trend of being cranky in the evening and needing to be held.

Nov 24^th

You went to the pediatrician today for your 2 months check-up.  You now weigh 9lbs, 3.2oz (5^th %) and are 21 inches long (1^st %).  You got two shots plus an oral vaccine.  You must be getting big- you’re now wearing 0-3 month clothes.  On the way home we stopped to get knitting needles and a prescription filled.
