One Week Old

I can't believe it's even been a week since I brought this precious boy home (actually 12 days, I'm a little late on this post) He's such a good baby, and we are really blessed to have him as ours.


I'm working on a "birth story" of sorts, so be on the lookout for that. This little guy definitely didn't come into the world exactly how we expected, but I'm glad he's safe and in our arms now.






Weight: At birth he was 7.5, he ended up being 6.10 the day we took him home. He gained 1 ounce that day, making him 6.11 at his appointment the day after leaving the hospital. Then at another followup 3 days later he was 6.14.   
Hair: Dark hair, turning lighter though (more my color brown). And sadly he's starting to loose some of it.
Eyes: Dark blue, almost hazel.. for now.
Diapers: Newborn huggies & pampers swaddlers. Both are still a little big so we fold them over. 
Clothes: Newborn everything, some things are still baggie. Like target clothes, I've found that Kohls clothes (sleepers & onesies) fit him the best. NO pants, absolutely NONE fit him. they all fall off, I need to find him some premie pants. 
Eating: Exclusively breastfeeding. he has some latching issues that we are still working through, but I'm determined!  
Sleeping: In the hospital he didn't sleep at all! Which had me worried, he's actually a really good sleeper at night, but a terrible napper. I think because he sleeps so good at night that he is just too light of a sleeper during the day, at night he will fuss when he's hungry I nurse him and he will go right back to sleep, but during the day he's completely different! 
His longest stretch of sleeping is 6 hours, woohoo!
