2 weeks old

baby is such a hungry monster, he eats A LOT. at our 2 day appt after we were discharged from the hospital (thurs 8/28), he was down to 6 lb 12 oz because my milk still had not come in yet, so he lost almost 10% of his birth weight (7 lb 6.2oz). so they asked us to come back on sat 8/30 to check our progress. at that appt he was up to 7 lb 3 oz. typical weight gain is only 1/2 oz to 1 oz a day, so he gained 7 oz in 2 days!! j was in disbelief and thought the scale must have been wrong haha we had another weight check on wed 9/3 and he was up to 7 lb 14 oz. another 11 oz in 4 days!! if he continues that kind of growth he's going to be sooo fat =P we have our first pediatric appt on 9/16 so we'll see how his weight is then.

so far everything is going ok...sleeping 2-3 hours at a time sucks though. ugh. i'm looking forward to when i can get 4-5 hours!! also, the baby gets suuuper fussy sometimes and won't go down to sleep. like today he was up from 11am til around 5pm!! it was so tiring trying to figure out what he wanted. i'm just glad it was during the day and not during the night. i think it was because he was hot and it was uncomfortable to sleep but who knows. it was nice that both of us were home so i could pass him off to j when i was tired/given up. good thing my mom will be helping out for the next 2 weeks when j goes back to work, but after that i'll be on my own..eek.

the baby fell asleep on my tummy today and it made me think, wow just 2 weeks ago the baby was inside my stomach and not on top of it! i still can't believe he came out of me haha
