Two weeks old already!! We have had more visitors this week and more milestones. Ted and I are adjusting even more to caring for Teddy and have developed a little routine for ourselves. Mimi was here most of week 2 and helping us as we adjusted. We also had a special visit from Uncle Jim, Auntie Tara, Josh and Emma. They made the long trek from Pennsylvania to come meet Teddy.
Emma was so excited to meet her new cousin - Emma loves taking care of the younger cousins. She loved holding him and had the most amazing look on her face each time she held him. She is going to make an amazing mother some day!!
Josh wasn't quite sure what to do when Teddy started to cry and enjoyed holding him when he was much calmer :-)
We went back to the Doctor this week on 11/2, Teddy weighed in at 7 lbs 14 oz...a little less than last week. The Doctor recommended starting to feed Teddy 4 1 oz bottles throughout the day to help increase his weight as he should be back at birth weight by now. We also need to start feeding him every 2 hours, with a 4 hour stretch at night. Here is Ted feeding Teddy his first bottle.
We were a little more skilled this week at bathtime and were able to take some actual pictures :-) He still hates bath time though!
Teddy and I had our first day all alone this week. It was a success!!
LOVE the blog! You are going to love being able to look back at all of this - and he will too one of these days. :) Can't wait to see you guys!
