Week 2 Dr. Visit

Above is one of the pictures the hospital's photography company took of James when he was 3 days old (our365 gets the credit) -- I can send the link for people to order pictures, let me know if you're interested.

Today was a pretty busy day for us considering we've pretty much been holed up at home since getting out of the hospital. My mom is here for the week to help us out and it's already been awesome! This morning Mom, James and myself joined our neighbor Rachel at a breast feeding support group. Very nice to hear that even people who have been nursing for almost two years still have their issues with it. We had to leave the group early to get James to his 2 week dr. appt. He is looking good -- essentially back up to his birth weight (he was 1/2oz. shy, but we'll round up) and almost 1/4in. longer at 19.25in. -- how amazingly fast they can grow! Guess that means he's actually getting enough food when he eats -- we can even up the amount of milk Jimmy gives him at night while I pump to see if he'll finish it. Peanut was all content sleeping in his bundleme in the car seat until the dr. came in and we had to get him naked down to his diaper -- then he broke out the howler monkey screeches (still so funny because he'll usually stop crying within 10 seconds of picking him up as he's just faking). I started to feed him after the dr. left because it was coming up on 5 hrs since his last meal and then the BIG BAD NURSE came in to give him his first Hep. B shot -- he was NOT happy to say the least but recovered quickly to finish eating -- good way to a Montalbano's heart is through the belly!
