Happy 2 Week Birthday!

We can’t believe that it has been 2 weeks since Nathan entered the world! It has been a great 2 weeks so far - he is a very content little boy and sleeps and eats very well. We couldn’t be prouder of him or love him more!

Tonight we celebrated his 2 week birthday with a bath.

After he was all dry and dressed, Nate and Dad (and Stella) spent some quality time before Nate fell asleep in his swing.

Ah, the life of a 2 week old - it doesn’t get any better than this!

Nathan’s First Doctor’s Appointment

Both Nathan and Mom had doctor’s appointments today and both received very good reports.

Nate had his first well-baby check-up.

He now weighs 9 pounds 2 ounces (he gained 5 ounces since birth!) and somehow is an inch shorter, although Jeremy and I both agree that he wasn’t measured very well, so let’s just say that he is still 22 inches long.

His heart and lungs sound really good and Dr. Grimes said that he is in perfect health. He also lost his belly button stump this morning, so tonight we started doing “tummy time” exercises to help strengthen his arms and neck muscles.

But, as you can see, tummy time took quite a toll on Nate and it ended up being more like nap time than tummy time. It was still very cute, though!

Mom had her follow-up appointment from the c-section and everything looks great! I am officially cleared to drive, which I’m very excited about. I also found out I’ve lost 28 lbs., which is more than I actually gained during the pregnancy! Yay!!!

A Little Cuteness for your Thursday Afternoon Enjoyment!

Nathan has taken quite a liking to his swing.  It is where he likes to spend most of his time during the day.  Here is a picture of him enjoying one of his favorite activities.
