It's been a while and I was reading up on my friend Michelle's blog and figured I'd update ours. So our little man has had his 2 week appointment (2 weeks ago) and had gained 10 oz since birth. He was 7lbs 11oz when we left the hospital so he'd gained a whole pound! We go Monday for our 1 month appointment. Big Seth's guess is that he'll be 10 1/2 lbs and my guess is 10lbs. He's a BIG eater. He took a 6oz bottle the other night before bed and eats every 1-2 hours lately. He's sleeping better during the day now too now that I know he wasn't getting enough to eat.
He's still sleeping through the night too, from about 10:30 or 11 to 5 and then again til 8 or 9. I guess the 7am thing was short lived but 5 works too!
I'm loving my days off too. I enjoy getting out when I can don't get me wrong, but the days with my son are priceless. I taught 1 class this past week though, well I say taught losely, my kids took a dance exam and I wanted to give them their grades so we invited the parents, I sat in a chair and we went through the exam for the parents. It felt soooo good to get back.

I have to brag on our little man!
So Seth is only 13 days old now?!!?!?!?!!? Actually he's going for his first doctor appointment today so I'm sure there will be a blog about that later. He was supposed to go Monday but he has some kind of yellow gunk in his right eye and it's a little swollen so...here we go with doctor visits! I don't mind at all though. I don't mind anything the little guy does at this point!
And how could I mind, he is truly a wonderful baby. We have fussy times during the day - usually after 4pm til around bedtime, but we'll take it! The first 2 days home Seth slept in his pack n play at the end of our bed. We didn't get much sleep those nights. The 3rd night we put him in his bed and he slept from about 10pm - 3am and then til around 6 or so. That went on for quite a few nights. Then he started going to bed around 11pm and not getting up until 4am and then sleeping til 7am. I put him down one last time after that in his bed and he sleeps til around 10 or 11am. So I can get stuff done in the morning. Slowly that 4am wake up time has gotten later, it was 5am, then 6am, now...today...he slept from 11:30pm til 7am!!! Only 13 days old! We're so excited that he sleeps so good through the night. Some people thing it's a little strange we put him to bed so late, but when I go back to work I want to be able to nurse him for his last feeding before bed and I won't get home until 9:30 usually. Now, if he stays sleeping til 7am I'll be able to get up in the morning for work earlier than him, get showered and ready and then just worry about getting him fed and packed up to go to the babysitter! This little man is really spoiling us...but we're so proud of him!
He's a strong little guy too - he's holding his head up and looking around alot, and yesterday was turning his head toward voices. He's so amazing, and we're so blessed to have such a well behaved child! Well, at least well behaved for now!!!
