Still growing!

Just a quick update on my growing boy. We took him for his 2 week check up and he has been packing on the pounds. He's up to 9 pounds, 10 oz. after just two weeks! I feel quite accomplished since he is solely a breastfed baby. He eats all the time and is already one third Izzy's weight. The doctor said he is doing great. The only thing out of the ordinary was mention of being slightly tongue tied but she didn't feel it was severe enough to warrant surgery. Obviously, it hasn't affected his ability to nurse. Here's another picture of him sleeping. Strangely, he does not like to be swaddled when he sleeps. He loves to stretch out. I think this is because he was so cramped in my tummy that he is relieved to be free...a feeling we share! It feels so great to no longer be pregnant and to be able to hold him in my arms. I'm feeling more and more like myself every day and haven't had to battle post partum depression this time around. I truly feel Sean and I are able to savor every moment since we're not first time parents. We definitely are more confident this time and much more relaxed.
