2 weeks already!

Yesterday marked Will's 2 week b-day. He is growing like a weed! We had his weight checked last Thursday and he was 7 lbs 2 oz. They say that they should be up to birth weight (7 lbs 4 oz) by 2 weeks, but I think we have passed that. He was 6 lbs 8 oz when we left the hospital. So, in one week, he gained 10 oz. Which is great. I wish we had a scale to see what he is now, he just seems bigger to me. This week, he has decided that the world is too exciting to sleep. During the day, he only takes mini cat naps, but spends most of his time wide awake. He has been doing pretty good at night (knock on wood). He gets up every 3 hours to eat. Matt and I have our system down . Matt gets up, changes his diaper, and gives him to me. I then feed him and put him to sleep, which is sometimes not as easy as it seems. So, we both get some sleep, but we are still pretty tired. It comes with the territory, I guess. Other than being tired, we are all doing great. Still learning the ropes, but enjoying it.

Baby Will is so cute. He really does favor Camryn when she was a newborn. Sounds like you and Matt are doing a great job. Keep your spirits up- your fatigue should decrease as Will gets used to the world. Love to all three of you!

glad to hear that things are going well for the three of you. nate was the same way with the cat naps and being awake most of the time. i think they're making it up when they say newborns sleep all the time!
 
Awww happy 2 week berfday, Will! I can't say I blame him for being awake a lot- can you imagine how WEIRD it must be to be newborn?? :)
Love you guys!
