Birth to now.

My last post was Brooks' birth story, he is now almost 10 weeks old and I need to capture the last 10 weeks. We brought him home to lots and lots of love. My  two sisters and my dad's wife stayed with us for a week to help us adjust. It was a lot of people in our tiny apartment, but so much fun! Our family and friends were so supportive. We had more food and love than I could ever have imagined. He was so awesome from the beginning. We had to wake him up at night to feed him, he would just wiggle and look around. He hated to be wrapped up in a blanket, he had had enough time cooped up and was ready to stretch out.

At his two day appointment he measured 21.8 inches long (98%), 8 lbs 5 oz (75%), and his head was 14 inches (25-50%) and the doctor said he was pretty much perfect.

Oh how I hated that umbilicus cord. His dried with a sharp edge and it would catch on everything. I am so glad that is over. I am pretty sure that it came off early and it bled a lot.

 It took him awhile to adjust to the whole bath time thing. Most people say their babies love bath time...not Brooks. He is still a little wary of it.

His two week appointment was also just great. He was just growing perfectly. He measured 22.6 inches long (98%), 9 lbs 3 oz (75%), and 14.5 inches for his head circumference (80%). Tall and skinny just like his mom! :)

I started school when he was 3 weeks old. It was super duper hard to leave him but luckily his grandma is the bomb and comes up and hangs out with him 2 times a week.

At about 4 weeks he started smiling... but I don't think that he really knew what he was doing. He loved to stand up and look around. He is totally a wiggle worm and loves to move.

At 6 weeks we started having him sleep in his crib.. well kind of.. it takes sometime. Things are looking up. He really started smiling and cooing. It has been so fun. Now I really don't ever get anything done! haha

We are now at 9 weeks. This past week he had his 2 month check up. I can't believe how big he is getting. It is absolutely craziness. We weighs 12 lbs 5 oz, is almost 25 inches long. He is and has always measured in the 98% for height, and 50% for weight. He is such a stud. He has the biggest feet. Right now he is wearing literally 12-24 month socks. no joke. Everything else is too small. He is gonna be a baller. :) He also got his shots. It was the saddest thing ever. But so funny at the same time. He never cries very loud but man when he gets those shots his face turned instantly bright red and he screamed. His face looks like an old man and I can't help but laugh. I am an evil mom. :)

My recovery has been really great. I have been able to run for about a month. :) I am thinking next week I am going to start this training program and start running more seriously. I also have been doing power yoga for abs. It has been kicking my butt. But it is so great. Brooks just stares at me like I am crazy while I do it. But whateves... :) I am hoping to get back in shape and look like a babe by my sisters wedding! I cannot wait for it! December 20th 2014 is going to be a great day! :)

Sunday we are blessing Brooks! I cannot wait to write the post after that one! :)
