2 weeks and still kicking

Well friends Rigel is such a blessing! yesterday the 7th we took Rigel to his 2 week check up. The doctor said he was perfect, and was suprised at how alert he is. He grew 3/4 of an inch and gained weight, he is back to his original birth weight. (Babies naturally lose weight when they are born.) Everything checked out great!

He is starting to put himself on a sleep schedule of sorts... he goes to bed about 9:30 and will sleep until about 2:00a.m. and then until about 7:00. So I (Dena) get some sleep, just broken sleep. He had one hard night this week where he ate every 2 hours so just as soon as he was done and settled, we were back at it... ugh!

It's all worth it though... wouldn't trade it for anything! We've made it out of the house a few times now for errands, the mall, visitng our friends the Wiltons who had their baby 6 days after us and such. I'm learning how to use my "hooter hider" and the backseat of the car for feedings on the go!

We have our first fun outing this Saturday as we were invited to a garden party at the Binders. We'll get pictures loaded from that as soon as available. And of course Sunday is MOTHER'S DAY!!!!!! We are brunching at Chatacqua Dinning Hall... can't wait for that! What a proud Mommy I am;-)
