Two Week Update

Yesterday we had Alexander's 2 week (actually 16 day) check up!

 
He is definitely less yellow and eating well! He was 9 lb 0.4 oz and 21.5 inches long!

That's over one pound of growth (if you include his weight loss to 7lb 12 oz) and one inch in length since birth!

Since the last update, Aunt Kristin was here and almost missed her flight to Atlanta from staring at the little guy! (This is a true statement..she got to the airport 15 min prior to her flight departure, my nerves were horrible).  James took his suitcase to the car thinking that he would get to go on the plane with Aunt Kristin. 

Dad and Clara arrived last Thursday via private plane with their friends Erlene and Roger. Unfortunately, their visit was short and seemed to be over before it started. Dad and Jim played the Tiger Woods golf game on the Wii until all hours of the night. Dad got his butt spanked even playing as Tiger Woods ! Clara and I took walks every day with the boys which was very nice! James got to go in the hot tub with Dad and Clara and had lots of fun! We all went to Gymboree on Saturday but I think that James was a little too active for Dad and Clara to keep up with during it. Although the room is not very big he gets around really quickly. He is really missing having all his relatives around.

 Jim is back at work this week and James is at daycare. Both will be off next week so we can spend some quality family time together. I am doing well! I don't think I would do well with James at home at the same time (by myself) as Alexander. Alexander likes to eat for long periods and James wants attention so it makes me appreciate daycare so much more. I wonder how I would actually deal with being a stay-at-home mom without the daycare back up!

Well, not much else going on.
