Free at last!

Today I had my 4 week check up with my doctor, Dr. Vines. Who I absolutely adore by the way... Look at this precious burp pad they sent us with his cute little name on it!



Very sweet :)

The appointment went great! The small amount of bleeding I'm having is normal he says, as well as my soreness. The soreness isn't really noticeable until pressure is put on it, like trying to wear jeans...even maternity jeans... so, I'm still in my sweats! yay for that! :) I have also been released to start exercising again with the recommendation of brisk walking to begin with. So all is well!

Eli is doing great! So far he's had his second PKU done, which I'm assuming turned out normal since I haven't had a phone call about it. His next appointment is his 2 month, which will be on Feb. 28. At his 2 week visit he was at 8 pounds and grown to 21 inches (started out at 7.1 pounds, 19 3/4 inches), so since today he is 4 weeks, he might even be 10 pounds! Yikes! :)

He is growing so much...he's still really skinny, but getting so long! I guess he'll be long and lean like his daddy! He is still fitting into his newborn clothes and Wes brought him in to me yesterday in a 0 to 3 month sleeper and it fit him! I almost cried! It's still really baggy, but he's long enough to be in it now! geez...he's growing so fast! Here are some adorable pics we took of him today!

Love the onesie, I thought yesterday "only if these little people had a snooze button". He's so cute.

I love Eli so much because he looks like a real person, not a baby, y'know what I mean? Like he has *personality.* I agree with Chelsey, he looks exactly like Wes...but you're pretty long and lean too honey!!
