Sweet Baby Boy

Zackary had his first doctor visit yesterday.  He weighed 8lb 4oz at birth.. left the hospital last Thursday at 7lb 11oz.  Yesterday he weighed in at 8lb 7oz.  The doctor said they hope babies will get back to their birth weight in 2 weeks.. Zack passed that in just a few days.. can we say Mama has good milk!  He's been wanting to sleep longer stretches at night but they have been waking him to nurse.. the doctor said because he's doing so well they can let him sleep up to 6 hours.. he did that last night!!  What a blessing.  He is the sweetest baby.. so calm and peaceful.  Only cries if he needs something and is easy to calm down.  He loves to cuddle.. is so happy in his swing.. Couldn't ask for a better baby.  Mom and Dad are peaceful and calm too.. very patient with him and enjoying every minute of it.

Baby Waiting

I'm with Paige and Danny waiting for the baby to come.  Today is the actual due date.  She is having some contractions.. is a bit uncomfortable with the size of the baby but not in labor as far as we can tell.  The thing that is unbelievable is she has a ton of energy and has all along.. just the last few days has forced herself to take a nap.. and she is still working and plans to do so until she goes into labor.  We see the doctor tomorrow and will see how things are going and what the next step is.. Can't wait to meet that little guy!
