2 Week Check-Up

Brooks went for his two week check-up yesterday.
We really love our pediatrician- he is very patient, thorough and lets us ask more questions than we probably should and never makes us feel stupid or like nervous new parents:).
Brooks weighed in at 8lbs and 9oz - almost back up to his birth weight.
He checked out all good and is hitting all his milestones normally- lifting his head, reacting to noise, looking at lights, etc.
We were given the all clear to let him sleep as long as he wants to at night. We were having to wake him up every two-three hours to eat, but now that his weight is back up and he is gaining steadily he can sleep for longer periods.
This was good news because so far Brooks does sleep at night. Last night was the first night we let him sleep and he went for two four hour stretches at a time. Larry fed him at the first wake-up call and I fed him at the second which allowed us both to get a longer interval of sleep.

He's here!

Everyone is now home and doing well.

You know you are DONE being Pregnant when...

…you are out of breath from your 3 point turn to change positions in bed.

…at the doctors office you can no longer see the cup you are supposed to pee in and have to go by "feel".

…trying to shave your legs involves some pretty ridiculous maneuvers.

...you have to have your husband put your socks on.

...your belly is so big and so low you have to sit like a man with your legs sprawled apart.

...ALL your shirts become too short and you have to buy new clothes with only a few weeks left to wear them.

…you have trouble washing dishes since your belly is so huge you can't stand very close to the sink.

…the 50th person comments that it should be anytime now, or they just know that you aren't going to make it to your due date.

…something falls on the floor and you stare at it for a full minute while deciding whether it's important enough to pick it up, or if it's easier to ask your husband to pick up (or wait til he gets home if he's not around).

…you go to a restaurant and they no longer ask if you would prefer a table or a booth--they just take you straight to a table.

…you have to use the handicapped stall in public restrooms because there is no room to turn around in the regular ones.
