3 weeks already

I can't believe that our little man is going to be 3 weeks old tomorrow. It just flew by! We had his 2 week appt on Monday (he was actually 2.5 weeks old) and he is now 12 lbs 3 oz! His head is over 16" and somehow, he shrank to 22.5" long! lol He's doing well. We are trying to get him used to a bottle so this momma can get out some times, but he's just not liking it that much. I try every day to give him one bottle and he is getting there.

Last night, I put him in his own room. I moved the recliner into his room and slept in there with him. It was actually easier since the changing pad is right there. I find sleeping in the recliner is easier to wake up from than the bed. I don't know if it's a subconscious thing that I am just taking a nap! He woke up a lot last night, but I just keep reminding myself that it's going to get better. I think maybe he's going through a growth spurt. He's waking up every 2 hours or so to eat.

Bella still adores her baby brother. She is just so in love with him. She talks to him all the time and one time she said, "Hi baby brother!" Then she turned to me and said, "Mommy, he's not talking to me." She's so funny! The other morning, she asked Rich to carry her downstairs. He said, "What are you crippled?" She said, "No daddy, I'm not purple." lol
