All is well

Charlie is doing great at home; we went to the pediatrician again yesterday, for his second check-up, and he's gained 4 ounces since Tuesday! According to the scale at the pediatrician's office, he now weighs 6 and a half pounds! We were asking the doctor about something (can't remember what it was now - my short term memory is temporarily shot!) and he reminded us to relax, considering Charlie shouldn't be born yet! It's hard to remember that sometimes, since he's now been a huge part of our lives for 13 weeks.

Here Charlie is, relaxing and "watching the tube" with his feet crossed. Too cute!

We had a better night last night - he was pretty wide awake and loud for his midnight feeding, but the 3 a.m. one was a calmer experience, thank goodness. And I was able to get a couple more hours of sleep after his 6 a.m. feed, so I feel like a semi-normal person this morning. The sleep deprivation is a killer! Dad is in a wedding this weekend in Mercersburg, PA - I'm sorry to be missing it, but imagine that he is REALLY enjoying having a quiet hotel room to himself! Hopefully he's taking advantage of the getaway to get caught up on his sleep, since not much of that is happening around here.

I'm still enjoying playing dress-up with Charlie; in these photos, he wears a cute little Asian style outfit from Phil, a sweet dinosaur onesie and matching hat from Laura, and some cool Converse high tops (he can't wear them quite yet, but it won't be long) from Uncle John, Aunt Dev, and cousins Jake and Patrick. What a lucky boy Charlie is to have so many people to love him!
