We realized last night that in the blink of an eye we went from counting down the weeks left until the due date to counting up the weeks of Tyler's life! And so today marks his third week of hanging out on the outside. And what a crazy 3 weeks it's been.
Last week at Tyler's 2 week doctor appointment we found out that he had grown ...back to his birth weight AND beyond. So much so that the doctor weighed him 3 times on multiple scales since he couldn't believe Tyler was tipping those scales at 8 lbs 6 oz. His " excessive" weight gain made for a challenging week last week as we second guessed everything we had been doing when it came to nursing. Tyler was a little hungry for a few days while these rookies wondered where the calm and content guy we had known for 2 weeks vanished into the night and left behind a wailing-at-the-top-of-his-lungs look alike! Tyler became a whole lot happier when we settled back into the good system we had going early on....and so it proves the doctor was right when he said dont change what you're doing. We head back next Monday for another weight check.
In other exciting news, I am rapidly approaching my 29th birthday and Kevin and I are also getting close to being married for 1 whole (glorious) year. With these milestones to look forward to this week, along with Tyler and mom getting a little more used to being home alone during the day, we seem to be starting to fire this little family on all cylinders.
And over the last 3 weeks, every time Kevin or I dared to say out loud that we made a few steps forward in progress, Tyler catches wind and throws his next curve. On to the next one, then!
And because no good blog should be without pictures of the little man...here he is in all his blaze and glory enjoying his weekend.
And his Sunday afternoon nap...
Wouldn't you just love to know what's going on inside of his head?
