Shea is doing amazingly! He's hit the two week mark, and although he's waking up a bit more, he's still a very chill baby. He eats about every 2-3 hours during the day and 3-4 at night. His largest feeds have been 7 ozs, but on avg he does about 4-5ozs. I'm nursing him along with pumping and giving him bottles of formula, all of which he takes no problem, but is much quicker with the bottle then nursing.
At night he's sleeping in 3-4 hour chunks which is quite acceptable for this age. Besides when he's hungry or gassy, he doesn't fuss very much and is overall a very content baby.
At his 2 week visit he weighed 9lbs 3ozs (up almost 2lbs since birth) and has grown an inch and 1/2 to 22.5inches. He's growing quite nicely!
This is the start of me being home with him alone, and after day 1 I do have to say I forgot how much work it is by yourself! The most I got done was taking Burton for a walk this morning and eating lunch by 2! Shea's a good baby, but everything does just take so much time. How quickly one forgets! The good thing is though, this time I know this period is short lived and that give it a few more weeks, he'll be settled into a much easier routine.
