Time is flying by and Oliver is already two weeks old today! At his one week checkup, he weighed 6 lbs 14 oz so they wanted me to bring him in for a weight check at 2 weeks (to make sure he was gaining appropriately) and to make sure he no longer had any signs of jaundice. Well, this little pork chop really likes to eat and weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz today, meaning he gained a pound in just a week! Clearly he has no problem in the food department! He seems to be handling things in my diet okay and his spit up is very limited so I will keep my fingers crossed that he does NOT have ridiculous tummy issues like his sister did! We do not have to continue waking him up at night to eat every 2-3 hours since his jaundice is all cleared up (although I let him sleep the past two nights and he gave us a 5 hour stretch one night and a 4 hour stretch last night....Hooray!)
Poor Emma came home with a fever on Friday and was laid up with an icky cold all weekend. She was more upset that I wouldn't let her hold her brother than she was about feeling bad. We kept her home from school yesterday and she seemed back to her feisty old self so she returned to school today. Today is Larry's last day home before he goes back to work tomorrow. =( I have an adorable video of Emma singing to Oliver but it is being lame about uploading from my phone so I will post that once technology decides to cooperate!
You are a lucky lady. :)
ReplyDeleteIf your pregnency indicates how Oliver is going to be, you will be blessed. He has such a "laid" back attitude. He is just an easygoing lil guy and nothing seems to bother him (except when Emma gets into trouble and cries all the way home.)
ReplyDeleteMema and Grandpa are so thrilled with both of our grandkids and we love them to pieces!!
Love,
