Weight check

This last week we have had a public health nurse come over to help with nursing, if we have any questions for her regarding bringing up baby, or if we just want to see how much he weighs. Will's birth weight was 7 pounds 14 ounces. His discharge weight from the hospital was 7 pounds 7 ounces. Tuesday he was 7 pounds 6 ounces, Wednesday he was 7 pounds 8 ounces, and today he was 7 pounds 13 ounces. We are so proud that he is gaining weight so well...

Since being home from the hospital we have had quite the interesting sleeping arrangements. We have had nights of sleeping in our bed with him because he wouldn't sleep in the bassinet. A night of sleeping in the living room, Michael on the couch, Will in the bili bed and me on the floor. A night of me sleeping on the couch with Will on my chest. Then there was last night, oh what a wonderful night. Will ate at 10pm, I put him down in the pack -n- play upstairs and he stayed asleep until 2am. He woke up at 5am, I fed him, put him back to bed and he slept until 8am. Ahhhh it feels so great to have a 'normal' night. Now if only my 3 year old would sleep past 7am that would be delightful.

I'll try to post new pictures when I get them on the computer. I have taken a bunch of pictures since being home so I know I have some good ones to share.
