Out and About

We went to the doctor yesterday and Jay weighed in at a whopping 10lbs 15oz and 23 inches long! He is catching up to Mystery (our kitty) quick!! Jay is up a lot more and alert during the day, his eyes are beginning to look at us although he still has some time before his eyes actually focus.  We are still far from a schedule but we are beginning to pick up on Jays moods and preferences.  For example, during the day he eats every 3 hrs (almost to the minute) however, after 5pm this goes out the window.  He turns into a cluster feeder at nite, (guess that's better than a vampire - kidding!) he will get really fussy unless he is eating in the evening.  So he eats about every 45minutes to an hour until about 10pm.  Then around 10pm we feed him a 5oz bottle, this makes him sleep the longest at night, and we like that! 

These days Jay is getting out quite a bit, his mom is finally loosening up :) - Jay made plans with his buddy Jackson for bagels last Sunday, (Jackson on the left, Jay on the right)

it was a father son thing...

So little by little we are beginning to adjust to the light sleeping schedule, that is almost all of us...

Mystery is having a harder time ...

All in all, things are getting better and better each week.  I go in next Wednesday for my 6 week  post partum appt.  I am feeling close to 100% and hope to get back to working out at 8 weeks.  Loren has been really busy with work which means more traveling.  He had to go to Kansas City Wed and Thurs this week and it looks as though he will also be traveling for the next couple of weeks.  Even though Loren is busy working and traveling he has been making sure he spends quality time with his little guy...

Tomorrow we are going out to dinner with 2 of my new mom friends and their husbands, we figure we are all becoming new friends so we wanted to introduce our husbands.  Other than that we are looking forward to a quiet weekend together.
