Routines!

I might be the happiest person on Earth!  Chuck started back to school today.  Actually, he may be the happiest person.  I don't know.... it's probably a toss up.

Chuck has actually been doing wonderful with the new addition to the family.  I think Smith is also glad Chuck is back at school so Chuck will stop smothering him with kisses and hugs.  Considering Chuck has been locked in the house for two weeks, he has done relatively well with minimal to no tantrums.  I think we are all ready to be back on our "normal" schedule ( +1)!

Sunday was my first day alone with the boys.  Thank goodness Smith is still sleeping all the time ( I mean sleeping all day).  Smith insists on staying awake all night.  Awesome!  Anyway, we made it through Sunday unscathed and even got laundry done and some of the house cleaned.

Last week, Smith had his two week check up and was down a pound.  At two weeks you should be back up close to birth weight.  The doctor wanted to do a weight check today to see what his weight was doing.  He instructed me to feed every two hours day and night to make sure he was getting enough.  I was shocked because he looked bigger to me but doctor's orders!

Smith and I went back this morning and checked the weight.  Smith was born at 8lb 6 oz but weighed in last week at 7lb 8 oz.  The doc wanted him at least at 7lb 12 oz today.  This kid weighed in at almost 10 pounds.  Sooooo apparently the nurse we had last week ( which I didn't care for in the first place) weighed him wrong.  So I have been sitting here day and night feeding my TEN pund baby every two hours.  That's a fat kid's dream! Sigh.  Maybe I will sleep tonight after the measly hour I got last night.
