updates

just a quick post between eating and sleeping. :)

we are doing well. just adjusting, trying to find a schedule, and try to get some sleep in the process. in fact i'm going to go take a nap after posting this. we're hoping to get some more pictures up soon, we've had some delays because we got our new computer, and are having to switch everything over.

levi is back up to his birth weight. he was up to 9lbs 1oz at his appointment today, and he's cleared to not go back until his 2 month appointment. he is starting to stretch feedings a little bit and move closer to 3 hours which we are enjoying. :) he got his first bath over the weekend. we videoed it yesterday, but i'm having trouble uploading it for some reason. hopefully soon.

mike is back to work full time, as well as school. he's busy trying to manage everything, but he's doing great. he's such a blessing as he gets up with every feeding in the night, burps and changes levi for me which is really nice.

i'm feeling good. i have an appointment tomorrow as a two week follow-up to the surgery, but, i really have felt great. i felt like i bounced back quickly, and really haven't had much pain from the surgery.

i'm working a little bit this week. i'm playing for a concert, so levi will get to be babysat tomorrow and get his first bottle, hopefully that goes well. i'm working from about 12:30-3, then the concert at 7:30 at night..wednesday i have to accompany for 2 hours at school, but i'm taking him with me, so i'll be able to nurse him during school. then thursday night, i'm playing for another concert, but just an hour in the evening. hoping all goes well with working, and nursing, and getting where we need to be on time. :)

Hooray for those blessed 3 hour feeding streches!

I hate new computers, for the simple reason of having to transfer everything...blah. Good luck with that. And good luck with getting a little work in! Can't wait to see more pictures of the little man.
