Snow Day

The beginning of our week was pretty busy with church, errands, and doctor's appointments so I was excited to hear about a possible snow day today.  It turned out to be quite a success!  When I woke up to feed Greyson this morning the snow was falling beautifully.  All the news stations said the main roads would be fine since we've had such warm weather but I prefer to keep the mindset that we're snowed in with no way out.  I love snow days and think we should have at least 1 every winter.  Stephen decided to work from home today and spend some time with us, how could it not be a good day?!? 

Yesterday we went for Greyson's 2 week well-child visit.  He weighed 6 lbs 4.5 ounces - the doctor wasn't too impressed and told me to start waking him up at night to eat, every 3-4 hours and feed him every 2.5 hours during the day.  Little one has been sleeping up to 6 hours during the night so I don't exactly want to wake him up.  I've been feeding him more through the day though and about 4-5 hours at night - it's not too bad.  He wanted to see us back in a couple weeks... we may go... I kinda think it's dumb to pay a $20 copay to just be weighed... especially when I can take him up to my office and weigh him on a baby scale.  But, I don't want to be the bad parent that doesn't take their kid to the doctor... we will just see.  I've been trying to increase my milk supply also so I've been pumping and also bought some Mother's Milk tea that is supposed to promote healthy lactation.  It's GROSS! Tastes like black licorice which I really don't like.  I'm letting it cool right now and then I plan to chug it and make some hot chocolate to follow it.  

All ready for his first bath :)

Today was Greyson's first bath and it was about time! Yes, he is 2 1/2 weeks old and yes, he could have had a bath for over a week now - but it hadn't happened yet.  I wanted Stephen to be here and there hadn't been a good time until our snow day today :) He had mixed emotions about the bath, but didn't totally hate it so I think that's a good sign. 

Not too happy to be cold and wet... but who is?  He looked so handsome after the bath with his hair combed, I love a clean baby! :-)

Our first trip to church.  He slept pretty much the whole time. Everyone was thrilled to see him and he was pretty cute in his outfit too! It was a long day for him though and he was ready to get home to eat. 

Mia was excited to meet her new buddy.  She doesn't quite understand that the baby that was in my belly is now here and there isn't a baby in my belly anymore.  She told Melissa, "I just want to touch him"
