Two Weeks Old!

Our Little Man turned two weeks old yesterday! I feel like he's changed so much in the last two weeks... his face has filled out and he's definitely lost his Newborn rash and his little wrinkles in his feet and his hands. He's awake more now (I'm talking 5 minutes more than he was) and he's starting sleep well at his "nap times"... I'm keeping my fingers crossed that the sleeping thing will keep up.

We went to the doctor yesterday- it was my first time to venture out with Brady by myself. It was also my first time to drive since the delivery! We did pretty well- we made a little outing of it. We went to Barnes and Noble to pick up a book for myself, Sonic (during happy hour, a large cherry limeade is 91 cents!) and then to the doctor. The big test at two weeks is the weight test. He didn't gain as much as we had hoped... only 3 ounces, however the doctor didn't seem worried at all. He actually said we can start letting him go longer at nighttime if he will. But we'll go in to the doctor again next week for another weight check just to make sure! He's only in the 5th percentile in the height and weight category, but as far as his "head circumference" he's in the 20th percentile.

We're attempting to get the hang of things at home... I'm getting less and less emotional every day. The first few days last week I felt like a wreck... no one told me about that part. The weepy part. But, as far as I've heard... it's pretty normal, especially when you're sleep deprived. However, I don't feel sleep deprived anymore... I'm tired at the end of the day, but not exhausted. I feel like since I was getting up a total of 6 times every night the last few weeks that I was pregnant to go to the potty and in between I wasn't sleeping well anyway, that three stretches of 2 1/2-3 hours is a BIG amount of sleep for me right now. And I feel like every day gets a little better as far as the sleep thing goes.

Our doctor also told me to start putting Brady on his tummy any time I'm not holding him and he's awake where I can watch him. He needs to get used to the position. I fully expected him to scream at me for doing this, because it's not something he's used to... but he seemed to enjoy it quite a bit. He sleeps on his side right now anyway... so he's halfway to his tummy already!

Here are some two week pics and pics from tummy time!
