Week 2: September 17-23

Brody,

I cannot believe you are a week old and we have had you in our life for a week! What an amazing week it has been.

Lolly left on Saturday. She didnt like saying goodbye to you very much. It was just the three of us Saturday and Sunday. It was perfect! You complete our family! Nana came on Monday to help out for the week.

You are still doing so great. You are sleeping well for a 1 week old. We are having to wake you up every three hours to eat. You are sleeping the whole time in between. You are doing well feeding and we are getting better at it together buddy. It isnt taking an hour like it did the first week. You are eating pretty well during the day. You just get so sleepy and fall asleep so I have to try and keep you awake :)

Mommy is feeling better and starting to get back to normal. Last week Mommy was still pretty sluggish and sore from having you. It was so worth it!

You are sleeping well too. You sleep most of the day but wake up some during the day. You are a pretty content baby and you dont cry to much. You are perfect! Nana likes to hold you a lot too! She is helping so much so mama can get some sleep. Mommy is tired from waking up a lot in the night but thats ok because its for you!

You are starting to watch the mobile more when you are awake and in the swing (when you will go in it - you dont like it to much). You are starting to look at things and respond when you hear noises. You are doing so well. You are also holding your head up more and learning how to control your head and your neck.

Thursday of this week we went to Dr. Pielop for your 2 week appointment. You are doing well!! You are such a good little guy and we are so proud of you. You weigh 7.1 and growing like a weed. You still have a little jaundice but not enough to have to treat. You had to get some blood taken for some testing. They pricked your heal and got it that was for 5-10 minutes. You screamed and it was awful watching you go through that!! I just wanted to make her stop. It brought tears to my eyes because I didnt like seeing you in pain! The test all came back good though. You're our healthy little boy and we are so thankful that you are. The Lord has blessed us!!!

The second week with you was fantastic!! We are still learning about you and you're learning about us. We are becoming a wonderful family of 3. We are so happy and blessed to have you in our life!! We love you with all of our hearts little man!
