Yes, go ahead and say it....long time no post! I know I know--I have a 3 week old, so cut me some slack. Thanks. We are all doing great, and adjusting well to life with a newborn. He is absolutely precious and so much more than we could have ever asked for. We have done so much since my last post. We went to our 2 week check up and got a great report! He was up to 8 pounds and had grown to 21 1/2". Wow!! This boy loves to eat, no question there. He has had all kinds of visitors and still is expecting some more really soon. Last Friday we went to see the lactation specialist to be sure everything was going ok with breastfeeding, and I had developed mastitis earlier in the week, so we wanted to follow up. She said everything looked good, and Martin appeared to be doing great, but she weighed him just to be sure. Well, she was right, he was doing great....that little stink had gained 7 ounces in 7 days. He was up to 8 lbs 7 oz. I think he is just fine!! At the two week mark he started sleeping in his own room. Before then, he was in our room in a cradle, but I will say we all sleep better with him in his own room. That night was the first night he only woke up once during the night. But, the trend has continued, because he is still only getting up once during the night to eat and get a diaper change and then back to sleep until usually about 7 am. Pretty awesome I think! I can't believe a week from today he will be a month old. Although I can't remember my life without him. He is too cute for words!
Hopefully it won't be as big of a break in my posting for the next time. Martin has the cutest Halloween Costume, and I can't wait to take pictures of him in it. We will be here at the house passing out candy to the trick or treaters. Happy Halloween Y'all!!
