Two Weeks? Two Weeks!
Yesterday I turned two weeks old. Look how excited I am! Mommy and daddy didn’t visit. They were at home stocking the nursery and letting mommy recover. She seems to be getting better every time I see her!
As for me, I’m making some great progress. I’m past most, if not all, of the early exams and tests and I passed them all! My meals keep getting bigger and I am putting on weight. I now weigh 2lbs 10oz again. I lost some weight immediately after birth which is normal for all newborns. It’s great news for me that I am handling my food and gaining weight. It’s bad news for dad. He has to change my poopy diapers. Poor dad.
Remember when I explained all of my wires and tubing to you? I mentioned that the oxygen tubes into my nostrils helps me when I sometimes forget to breathe. Well, recently I’ve been forgetting more often. This isn’t abnormal for a man my age and even though there is no sign of infection the nurses have started me on an antibiotic just in case. That’s how I got the nifty leg attachment. It ensures I don’t flex my foot and move the IV around. Henry had one a while ago and everything he can do I can do better!
In case you thought Henry was the only one to escape his isolette I present proof to you that I can do anything he can do. Here I am with my daddy. He’s a very handsome man. I hope I grow up to be just like him!
They say you can tell a lot about a man by the size of his feet. I think mine say that I’m going to be an explorer. And a troublemaker.
How cute are my feet? So cute.
Look at that smile!
I’m now free of that incessant blue light! And those meddling eye covers. Just in time to enjoy my new isolette cover. Thanks Grandma Buchholz!
