Week Six: Oct 28th - Nov 3rd

Oct 28^th

Because you were a preemie and also because of your cardiac issues you are eligible for Early Intervention services.  Today was their first visit.  Three women came.  Two of them assessed you while another sat with Mumma to fill out paperwork.  They will be coming every other week to help you meet your milestones.

Oct 29^th

You went out to lunch today with Mumma and some of her co-workers from Unica.  Like every time you go out, you were the star attraction.  After lunch you went home for a nap and then spent the evening with Daddy while Mumma ran some errands.

Oct 30^th and 31^st

Happy Halloween!

On the 30^th you went with Mumma to her hair appointment.  After her hairdresser got to meet you, Daddy took you on some errands.  Then it was off to Lydia and DJ Bryant’s Halloween/Birthday party. 

Grandma knit you a pumpkin in honour of your first Halloween.  In the evening we went to Uncle Andrew and Aunt Gentry’s to pass out candy.

Nov 1^st

Wow, it’s November already.  Saturday had been one of your original due dates, yet here you are, five and a half weeks old.  Crazy!  Not much of anything happened today.  Just a quiet day at home with Mumma- no errands and no appointments.

Nov 2^nd

This morning you went back to the pediatrician.  You’re up to 6lbs, 15oz- almost in the 1^st percentile.  Mumma left one of your prescriptions on the counter overnight (it’s supposed to be refrigerated) so we went to Hopkinton Drug to have it refilled.  We also went to vote since it was election day.  In the evening Uncle Andrew and Aunt Gentry came over to see you.

Nov 3^rd

You’re six weeks old already?  Time flies so quickly!  Mumma had a doctor’s appointment in the morning.  They said her cesarean scar is looking good.  Granpa and Nana came over in the evening so that Mumma and Daddy could get some work done in the basement.  This is the same reason Uncle Andrew and Aunt Gentry were over last night.
