| May 24, 2002 - We get to go home, Yippy! My weight is down to 6lbs 4oz. Need to eat more and not sleep so much. Anyway, the car ride was much slower. We have a doctors visit tomorrow. Weight check. We are supplementing with 1oz of formula after breast feeding. May 25, 2002 - Visited the doctor. Weight is good and up, 6lbs 9oz. Went through more diapers, I think 4 today. Grandparents are here! What a really cool day! Uncle Ralph and Aunt Gail came over too to make dinner, grilled salmon! Really tired out tonight. May 26, 2002 - Dad's parents came back. We played all day, lots to do: look around, giggle, smile, grunt, sleep. Boy, I'm pooped again. We have a doctor visit tomorrow, 8:30am. Mom made the appointment. That's early.... May 27, 2002 - Pee'd on the nurse today. She took too long with my diaper off. She should have known better. Besides, it was cold in there and someone deserved it. I'm 6lbs 9oz still, but no more formula since last vist. I'll gain more today! Mommy's parents are back. Very cool. I'm so loved. We played all day too. Ooo, Uncle Ralph and Aunt Gail brought London Broil. I know Dad ate good. May 28, 2002 - Totally restful day. I did play in my new bouncer. Pretty cool! I heard a loud rumble today. Mom says that was dad on his motorcycle. He had to get groceries and stuff. Getting a lot of milk today. May 29, 2002 - Doctors was good, didn't pee on anyone. They were faster this time. I'm 6lbs 11oz. Gaining already... May 30, 2002 - Freaked Dad out today. As he was changing me, my umbilical cord fell off. Kind of funny to me :>) May 31, 2002 - Got a package from Great Grandma Mo and Great Aunt Totter from out West. Aunt Totter got me this cool Angel sleeper. Very nice! Great Grandma got my several little outfits. Very cool. I turned my head while I was on my tummy. June 1, 2002 - Made 7 diapers full. What a night. Dad had to empty the pail this morning. I'm feeding just fine. Lots to drink. Mom and Dad keep waking me though. I guess I'm too sleepy. Maybe they want to play more. Mom read me some stories. I like Row, Row, Row your boat.I also tried to whistle with my lips. I had the circle, but couldn't blow. Dad was showing me, but I just counldn't blow. Maybe tomorrow I'll try. We had another thunder storm. Really bright light and loud thunder. June 2, 2002 - Pretty hot day out today. Played in my bouncer and sleep alot during the day. I got a batch tonight too. I liked my hair being washed and combed, but I'm not too thrilled about the rest of it. Dad moved fast. Guess he was trying not to keep me cold too long. Mom didn't get much sleep during the day. We'll try hard today. June 3, 2002 - I was up all night. Very thirsty. We tried the 3 1/2 hour stretch, but it was tough. Took my temp today, 97.9 under the arm. I'm a bit fussy tonight. Not sure why. Mom is great and feeling much better. She must be getting more sleep. June 4, 2002 - I streched my feedings out to about 3 1/2 hours at night. Mom sure is slick! Still not sure what color my hair is yet. Looks light brown with a red tint. We'll just have to wait it out. My eyes are turning to a light brown too. Got a really cool new bouncy from Aunt Joyce and Uncle David (Happy two on the far right-hand side). Dad set it up quick and I played in it. It has lights and music and best of all a kick pad for my feet. When I kick them the music and lights go. Really neat. Got a little fussy again just before bed. I guess I'll be a late owl like Dad. Just not an early sleeper. June 5, 2002 - Stuck to the 3 1/2 hour feedings this morning. Getting a little fussy today. At my noon feeding I wasn't too hungry and I fell asleep. Then when mom handed me off to Dad, I cried. Dad tricked me into sleeping more. Mom woke me at 3:00pm to start again. I'm doing much better. I guess I was just cranky. Well, Dad did it again. I was getting a little cranky around 7:00pm and Dad tricked me into sleeping. Man, he is good. June 6, 2002 - Stayed at the 3 1/2 hour early morning feeding, Mom's really happy. Dad got up early and went to work today. So Mom and I played all day. We did some reading, playing and some yawning. Dad came home and we all went to get some chicken at KFC. Yippy! Another car ride outside. Last time was when I was coming home for the first time. I did really good. I didn't cry or anything. I was too busy looking all around. Some more thunder storms came in tonight. It was loud and rained a lot. When it was over, Dad opened the windows and we listened to the rain sprinkle down on the leaves and the birds chirping. Silly birds, they must of thought it was morning. Well, I was fed at 8:30pm and Mom is going to bed, we tucked her in. Dad is holding me till I fall asleep and then he'll tuck me in my bassinet. GOOD NIGHT!!! June 7, 2002 - Still doing good on the night time feedings. Played in my new bouncy for a bit today. Dad found his old AVR and recorded me making noises all night. I turned my head a little more side to side. I played on my tummy longer too. Dad went grocery shopping today. Got some goodies, but I can't eat them. It's been a long day and we are all tired. Mom just finshed feeding me and we both fell fast asleep. Page 2 |
