3.5 Weeks

Wow, it’s amazing how fast the days and weeks fly by! Joel is 3.5 weeks now. He is doing GREAT! He was a little slow in gaining back the weight he lost after birth but we are now back on track. At his 3 week doctor’s appointment (for weight check) they wanted him to be back at his birth weight (8.2) and he was 8 lbs 6.5 ounces!! We don’t have go back till his 2 month check up now!

We had family in town in town for a full two weeks which was wonderful. Joel and I have been doing well now that we are alone too. We have started to make daily outings. With feedings every 2 hours its hard to be out too long but we make it work! Joel even had his first play date last week! My co-worker had a baby 2 weeks before Joel. Although Ryan and Joel barely noticed each other it was nice to visit with Tee’ha (Ryan’s mom).

We did professional pictures before John headed back to work, Joel was 9 days old. Here are some updated pictures including some of the professional ones.
