2-week check-up!

Braden had his two-week appointment today! He is looking healthy! He is back up to his birth weight, now weighing 8lbs, 14 oz. He is in the 59th% for weight, 67th% for length, and 16th% for head circumference.

This child likes to eat! My goodness, all I do is feed him! Nursing is going much better this time around so I am happy about that! I've decided that I'm not cut out for cluster feeding from midnight - 2am so he gets a bottle of formula at that time...and sometimes Jeff helps out too at that time so I can get some sleep.

We are really enjoying him! So far, he is a really good sleeper and easy baby. I know it can change at any moment so for now, we are enjoying our calm baby!

Here he is as we head to the doctor!

Grandpa & Grandma stopped by to bring us dinner and for a visit! My dad's 1st time holding Braden!

Madeleine is enjoying her baby brother and wanting to hold him every moment she can! Jeff is still home and will be home for another month so Madeleine is getting plenty of attention from him :-) I actually made it out of the house with her this morning for our first mommy-daughter date to Starbucks for breakfast and to story time. She gave me lots of hugs and kisses which I have missed!

We have had a lot of people stop by to drop off meals and we are so thankful! Life with two is very busy and even with Jeff home, we barely have time to run to the store or make dinner so we are enjoying all of our delicious meals! It is quite a circus trying to get out of house these days so you will usually find me on the couch feeding Braden and Jeff & Madeleine playing downstairs. Jeff & Madeleine get out a few times a week to go to her classes, to the park or the bouncy house! We are trying to enjoy every moment of this precious time.
