2 weeks old

2wks old!

Today Peter is two weeks old.  Wahoo!  I can't believe that according to my due date I should still be pregnant.  So glad I've been getting to hang out with Peter this August.  Wishing it was a little bit cooler.  It's hard to want to go for a walk when it's so hot out!  Our house has been getting really toasty and muggy.  

Yesterday Peter's belly button fell off.  Totally caught me by surprise!  I was just used to that little nubbin.  A sign that he's growing up though......Not sure what to do with it.  Save it?  Toss it?  I guess probably toss it........any thoughts out there?

Belly button/umbilical cord......

No belly button/umbilical cord!

We had a lactation consultation and she feels Peter is getting stronger.  Still not totally full term in the way he is breast feeding, but getting better!  He surpassed his birth weight and now weighs 7lbs 1ounce - yahoo!  Feeding still feels like an hour long process with breast feeding, supplementing with a bottle and then pumping.  But I can see the light at the end of the tunnel.  It's going to be so nice to just simply breast feed.  Can't wait.  It is nice to have some milk in the freezer now though........

Peter's smile - can't get enough

I love sleeping on daddy's chest

Look out!

Love the ATNR reflex
