Week Four: Oct 14th - Oct 20th

Oct 14^th

We tried putting you in cloth diapers today.  They were way too big.  Guess I’ll have to get you smaller ones.  Daddy watched you in the afternoon so that Mumma could take a much needed nap.  We’ve had a little bit better luck at breastfeeding, but you get sleepy quickly.  When I pump I get about twice what you eat.

Back at Children’s today for follow-up appointments.  You had an x-ray, EKG, blood work, and you met with Dr. B, your cardiologist.  Your weight is now 4lbs, 11oz.  After a long time at the hospital we headed home with a stop at the yarn store so that Mumma could get supplies to make you a present.

This morning we bought Daddy a display for the store he’ll be in this holiday season.  After bringing it home we headed out again- this time to Mimi’s.  She always loves to see you.  On the way home we stopped at Target.  You sure do get around a lot!

Oct 17^th

On Sunday we went to church to show you off to everyone who has been praying for you.  You were a hit.  In the afternoon Uncle Andrew and Aunt Gentry came for a visit.  Unfortunately you only wore this outfit once before outgrowing it.

Oct 18^th

Monday was a low-key day at home.  After running around so much lately, I guess we all needed a day to do nothing.

Oct 19^th

Nurse Lora (the visiting nurse) came today.  You weigh 5lbs, 1 oz.  We decided to wait until tomorrow’s pediatrician visit to make sure you’re over 5lbs before moving you into your car seat.  Nurse Lora also suggested you start having tummy time.  You hated it.

Oct 20^th

You now weigh over 5 lbs (5lbs, 4 oz)!  This means that you no longer need the car bed.  We celebrated by going for a walk.
