Week Seven: Nov 4th - 10th

Nov 4^th

Today was a lazy day at home.  Sometimes those are really nice.  In fact, we were still in our pajamas when Daddy came home from work.  After dinner Daddy had to go out again so that he could take his wooden puzzles to a store in the Chestnut Hill Mall.

Remember, remember the 5^th of November…

In honour of Guy Fawkes Day/ Bonfire Night Mumma made you this Union Jack onesie.  Unfortunately we didn’t have a chance to show it off anywhere, but we had a photo shoot at home.  Next year, a bonfire and fireworks?

Nov 6^th

Yesterday Nurse Lora came and you weighed 7lbs, 5oz.  You also went with Mumma to Diaper Lab, the mall, and Babies r Us.  Today you went with Mumma and Daddy to Ikea for a bookcase for your room as well as the lumber yard for Daddy.  We came home for a bit and then out again to Target, Stop & Shop, Best Buy and Bob’s.

Nov 7^th

What a busy day!  Daddy is selling his wooden puzzles in a store this year.  You went with Mumma to help him get set up.  Many of the other people there oohed and aahed over you.  When that was done you went with Mumma to Mimi’s to help her pay bills.  I guess you were tired, because that evening you tried to nurse on Daddy’s nose.  Silly boy.  :)

Nov 8^th

Today was a day spent mostly at home, although you did go out for a little while to run a couple of errands.

Nov 9^th

You started off the day with a visit to the pediatrician.  You weigh 7lbs, 12 oz which puts you on the growth curve in the 1.91%.  We then went off to drop some more puzzles off at the store.  Some of the people there must not be fans of babies because I heard someone mutter, “that stroller doesn’t belong in a store like this.”  If the stroller doesn’t fit, will a wheelchair?  On the way home we did some shopping for 0-3 month clothes.

Nov 10^th

Happy 7 weeks!  You had a follow-up appointment today with Dr. B, your cardiologist.  Even just seeing you wrapped up in a blanket he was impressed with how you look.  “He looks great.  Keep doing what you’re doing.”  You now weigh 7lbs, 14oz.
