Chase is 2 weeks old tomorrow! He had a doctor appointment today and is almost a pound heavier from his birth weight... 7lbs 13oz. He is a little pig and loves to eat!
Things are going as well as can be expected...hahaha. First night home was horrible, I was already super tired and he decided he wanted to be up from 11pm to 4am. Being a new mom and not knowing what the heck to do with him, we were calling grandma at 4am crying (both of us hysterical.) The next night went alot smoother, he decided night was a good time to sleep, up every 2-3 hours to eat. From then on it has been about every other night him deciding to be awake or sleeping. We are trying our best to keep him up during the daytime but it really hard to keep a newborn up. He really is a sweet boy. He is not really fussy and does not full on cry about much. He again eats like a champ. Both Randy and I have been christened by him while changing diapers, I have also been pooped on...
I am healing well. It has been hard for me to "take it easy" especially around the house, I am a neat freak. We have gotten so much help from my mom and people are so wonderful about bringing us dinners (makes things so much easier.) The animals have adjusted nicely as well :)
I am looking forward to the next several weeks off work and learning more and more about my little man every day. Also, learning how I cant just run to the store anymore, I now have to get a diaper bag ready, make sure child is fed and full and changed so I hopefully have more than a half hour to run that simple errand.
Unfortunate news though, he does have an umbilical hernia. Doctor says as he matures and his abdominal muscles develop that can fix itself. So lets pray that it does!
