Neil's Birth and Camden

Ok, so I could not ask for a better baby. I know he isn't very old but I'm gonna think positive and assume he will stay this way :) He lost down to 7 lbs 8 ounces when we left the hospital but the neonatilist (spelling?)assured me it was perfectly normal for bigger babies. His pediatrician was however a little concerned when we went for the first visit on Monday so he has to go back every few days to be weighed. Gramma (Marvin's mom) came yesterday to drive us to the doctor. He was up to 7 lbs 13 oz on Monday and yesterday he was already back to 8 lbs. I am not the least bit worried because this baby eats so much better than Camden did at first. He really is easy to feed and has latched on perfectly since day 1. I have no doubt that he will be back to his birth weight in no time.He is feeding every 3 hours which is heaven for me and he soothes himself back to sleep at night if he happens to wake up before the next feeding. We are using the pacifier some during the day though.
Camden is such a sweet big sister. She looks for his pacifier when he cries and is constantly bringing him toys. When he is in the swing she gently rocks him and points and says Neil regularly! I am so proud of her and the way she is adjusting and can't wait until next week when our family is back together again and we can begin to get into our new routine.

Waiting to meet her brother!
