The Fam!

Well, Truett is 7 weeks and 3 days. We saw our pedi on Thursday, he was exactly 7 weeks old. He was 9 lbs. 12 ozs. and 22 inches. The last visit was with Truett at 10 days old and he was 7 lbs. and 20 1/2 inches. When we left the hospital he was 6 lbs. 1 oz. and 19 3/4 inches. He is doing well and is still breastfeeding exclusively.

We went to Memphis about a week and a half ago. Truett had 2 real good nights and one really fussy one. He did pretty good in the car both ways. I can't wait to get out more and exercise more. The workout facility that we usually go to won't keep any babies until they are 6 months old. So, until then I'll be working out at home (I'm ordering Yoga booty ballet). I've heard it's a good workout and I hope to go running a couple days a week. I have about 10 lbs. to lose and will take it slow so I don't lose my milk supply. After I finish breastfeeding I hope to lose another 3 lbs., I hope to breastfeed until Truett is at least 6 months.

My sister Nicole also had her little one. She was born February 23rd, 7 lbs. 12 ozs. and 19 1/2 inches. She looks like her daddy, like a little Indian baby! I'll attach a picture. I can't wait to see her and my sister. We went through the whole pregnancy together and have a niece now! Truett will have someone to play with and hopefully grow up with. I think she's a little more "motherly" than myself. I tend to get flustered and frustrated, I'm very structured and scheduled. She is so easy going and has had many years of mothering. She practically raised me and my siblings (she was our little "Hitler").

I hope to write more later... hopefully he'll sleep through the night soon! He sleeps about 4-5 hours at a time and sleeps about 1.5- 2hrs. during the day, he take about 4-6 naps. I try to get those important things done at that time, like shower, eat, laundry, cleaning, and occasionally working out. It seems like it's never long enough. I hear it's all worth it in the end. I'm hoping it gets more worth it, soon!

Some up to date pics!!

We had a very sleepless first few weeks. Still some nights are better than others. Truett sleeps in 3-6 hour stretches. It's usually more like 4-5 hours. He has had a few bouts of colic. The Mylicon really works!! Since leaving the hospital we have taken lots of pics. I'll post some so everyone can see the darling.

Right now he is 5 weeks and 1 day. He is suppose to be taking his nap right now and is crying instead. Just about the time he should wake up he will be snoozing! We were tired of the sleepless nights and had heard about the book Baby Wise, we love it!
