Doctor Update

Caleb went back to the doctor today for another weight check, a 2 month well visit, and his 1st round of shots. He did AWESOME!!!! He's 9 pounds and 22 3/4 inches long now! He gained 12 ounces in a week! Thats awesome news for him! Caleb also got his 1st round of vaccines. I had David come with me because I knew he was going to scream so much, he had to get 3 shots. He did so well; we had a great nurse. He cried for about 30 seconds and then was fine! Im keeping an eye on him today in case a fever pops up, and he will probably be a bit more fussy than normal. Other than that things are going good!!!

6 weeks

Here is an update on us. Caleb is 6 weeks old now. He weighs 8 pounds, 4 ounces. Ive been having to go back to the doctor each week for weight checks. Hes not gaining enough weight, so we've been working through that. Breastfeed babies gain around 5 ounces a weeks, and he gained 6 ounces in 2 weeks (from 4 weeks to 6 weeks). Im working on some different techniques with breastfeeding, hopefully that will make the difference and he will start gaining. I will find out this Tuesday if it worked. Other than the weight issue Caleb is doing great! We get a smile at least once a day, and hes getting better head control (its still like holding a bobble-head, but its better).

For me, I have to go back to work at 8 weeks, so Sept 30th. Im sad about it because I wanted to take the full 12 weeks, but I will be able to take those 4 weeks at another time. I went to the doc yesterday, and everything is good with me. Ive lost 30 pounds from my last pregnancy check-in. So Im actually 10 pounds lighter than when I started!

Ready for the LSU game today!

Thank you Aunt Betty!!!!

My Aunt Betty (dad's sister), makes these BEAUTIFUL blankets. Shes even won ribbons on some of them. She made me one when I was born, she made a blanket for David and I as a wedding gift, and now she has made one for Caleb. I LOVE it!!! Ive attached pictures of the blanket, the last photo is the one that she made for David and I, that we use on a daily basis. The pictures dont do it justice. The colors are blue, purple, and a teal color. I need to take a picture of the one she made me when I was a baby. Thank you so so much Aunt Betty!!!!!

He smiles when he sleeps
