Brady is 5 weeks old today! Im so sorry we haven't updated the blog in 5 weeks, we will try to be better about updating it from now on. The last 5 weeks have been amazing to say the very least!
Let's see - we were in the hospital for most of the 1st week. I don't think anything can ever top the feeling of that first week. Lance and I were so happy, excited and tired that most of it is a blur, but we do have some very special memories that will last a lifetime.
His next couple of weeks were the hardest. He started to eat every 1.5 to 2 hours and he really had his days and nights mixed up. From 11-3 at night he would fuss and just couldn't get happy. Then he would sleep really well during the day. But, we got through it just fine and we are already starting to forget how difficult it was.
Alot started happening his 3rd and 4th week. He started to get his days and nights figured out. He still wakes up a couple of times a night, but he does sleep longer at night now. Also, he started smiling like crazy :) He does it espically in his sleep and it really makes us wonder what he is thinking and dreaming about.
Yesterday was his 1 month checkup. He got an A+ on his report card. He is doing great, gaining weight and length like crazy. He is in the 90th percentile for height, 75th percentile for weight and 50th percentile for his head circumference. Here is a run down of how his weight has progressed in the last 5 weeks:
6/3 - 7 lbs, 10 oz, 20 inches long (Birth)
6/4 - 7 lbs, 1 oz (Babies loose weight after birth)
6/7 - 7 lbs, 4 oz (Left hospital)
6/9 - 7 lbs, 8 oz (Hospital check-up)
6/19 - 8 lbs, 9 oz, 21.5 inches long (First doctor's visit - 2 week checkup)
6/24 - 9 lbs, 2 oz (Lactation Consultant Visit - exactly 3 weeks old)
7/7 - 11 lbs, 2 oz, 22.5 inches long (Second doctor's visit - 1 month checkup)
Hey girl, got your sweet comment on my blog! I had to laugh when you said you didn't know how to comment back...it was kinda a relief to know you didn't mind. I was starting to feel like the weird-ex-neighbor-blog-stalker! Ha! But I just love the pics of Mr. Brady, couldn't help myself!
