Mimi's Visit/Follow-Up Dr Appt

Last week Mimi (Donna) came and visited us for a few days. It was wonderful! She of course immediately fell in love with Grayson and wanted to help out as much as Rob and I would allow--so we said--Have at it! She would do the night time feeding and would bring him up to bed when he was asleep. So Rob and I were able to go to bed around 8:30 and sleep through the night. I was able to sleep in because Rob would get up and do the 4 AM feeding with his mom-I of course jumped on the chance to sleep as late as I wanted. We were able to go out on a date while Mimi had a date with Grayson. Rob and I went to Pot Pie and I enjoyed my first glass of wine-we got to be adults for a few hours!

We took Grayson for his follow-up visit to the doctor last Wednesday. She was very impressed how well he was doing. He had gained almost 1 pound in 5 days! It's amazing how much weight they'll gain when you feed them the amount you're supposed to-the nurses at the hospital really didn't know what they were talking about. Any way-since he was looking so great-we are now able to cut out his 1:00 AM feeding! Yahoo! So now I do the 10 PM feeding and Rob does the 4 AM feeding. So we each are able to get about 6 hours of uninterrupted sleep (on a good night). His jaundice is totally gone-he's about ready to lose his little belly button stump-and he's just still as cute as can be. He has had so many visitors come over and love all over him. It's fantastic.

So we just hang out during the day-waiting for daddy to come home. Only a few more weeks until we can go out in public with him. The dr. says not until he's 6 weeks due to the RSV being so out of control so we just hang out and snuggle. He's already growing out of some of his clothes-so I guess let's start the garage sale pile! Here's some more pictures of the little guy...

He loves to sleep on his belly-we so wish he could sleep like this at night!

Our little thinker...

Trying to sit up like a big boyGrayson also had his first photo shoot last week. Not sure if this link will work or not-but it's worth a shot http://www.bassettphotography.com/shop/gallery.php?dir=family2&name=Family

Try it-and if it doesn't work-and you really want to know how to see the pics-let me know and I'll post the directions. I'll try and take some more pictures of the little man and post them soon! Have a great week!
