We Have a Chunk

We had our 2 week doctor's appointment yesterday. Ford weighs 8lb 11oz which is one pound and 7 ounces over the weight he was when we left the hospital. The doctor told us they only expect babies at 2 weeks to be back to birth weight. Oh my, maybe we are going to have a BIG boy on our hands.

It is such a relief to go back to that 2 week appointment to hear the doctor say you are doing everything right, good job, momma! When you are nursing a baby you have no clue how much they are consuming and I tended to worry whether the baby is getting the right amount. Olivia was a petite little baby and we had to go back for weight checks because she wasn't gaining weight quick enough. It is such a weight off a momma's shoulders to know she is doing something right and her baby is just fine. Way to go, Ford! You're a Chunky Champ!

First Venture Out of House as Four

Hays has been off work all week and the weather has been gorgeous outside so we decided to get out of the house for a bit. We would have NEVER thought about doing this when Olivia was 2 weeks old but you can only stay inside with a 2 year old for so long. We decided to venture out to the zoo, one of Olivia's favorite places to go. Don't worry, we didn't let anyone even look at Ford as the doctor advised us yesterday to not take him anywhere. It was a nice outing and Hays and I even survived taking care of 2 kids in public (ha! I never doubted us).
