We had a WIC appointment today to add Cael and to update some stuff. I hate these appointments, but they are a necessary evil, and I am very thankful for the WIC program. It is why we get to have milk and cheese and cereal and peanut butter and some other basics. That said, it took 2 hours! And the office is always so hot! I was the only one that needed to get finger poked for anything, and it turns out my iron is low, which could help explain why I am so exhausted (as if having a newborn isn't reason enough!).
The big news though, is that Cael now weighs a whooping 9lbs 8ozs!! That is up a pound from last Monday! He is a fabulous nurser!! Still at 20 1/2 inches long. But he's starting to fill out, and I just might get a chubby baby yet! Now if only I can keep up my fluid intake to keep up with his nursing demands!
My sweet baby, sleeping in his carseat, waiting for the wedding to start Tuesday. I think he's adorable!!
Cael went in Monday for a check up and weight check. This kid gained an entire pound in 1 week! So he is now up to 8lbs 9oz, 20 1/2in. 50th percentile for everything! He is pink and healthy and starting to have clothes that fit! Today his umbilical cord stump fell off. I'm a little sad because he doesn't seem so new anymore. We were thinking maybe this is it for us as far as kids go, but now I'm not sure I'm ready for this to be my last baby!
Also, Quinton got married yesterday to his lovely fiance, Lisa. Isabel was so excited, she followed them around the courthouse like a little shadow! It was cute! So, Welcome to the family (officially) Lisa!!!
Here's a few more pictures from the hospital during labor and shortly after Cael's birth.
I promise I will post more pictures and write more, but Damian needs the computer!
