Two Weeks In

So after two weeks Gary and I were really becoming pros at this whole parenting thing (NOT!).  It was hard...WAY hard those first couple of weeks.  I was an emotional wreck, Levi wasn't getting enough to eat and nobody was getting any sleep.  So the two week update is like a little pep talk to myself and to Levi.  It helped to put things into perspective by writing kind of like a letter to Levi so here goes:

June 27, 2014

The first couple of weeks of your life have been quite an adventure!  We've been trying to figure out how much you need to eat, sleep, poop, and we do everything possible to keep you from crying (you really like it when daddy sings in a funny voice).  We're also trying to figure out how to help you gain weight.  When we went to the doctor this week you had lost an ounce from our first visit so we are going to see a lactation consultant and we've started adding a formula supplement.  We go back later today to recheck your weight so we are hoping you've gained some!  We want you to be so healthy and happy because we love you so much!!

The next day...

Levi's up to 6 lbs 13.5 oz!! He gained 3 oz in 2 days so to celebrate we took him on his first trip to Lake Keowee at High Falls Park.  Although he slept most of the time we had a good time grilling burgers and hotdogs and Granny Kelly and Aunt Phyllis even got to join us!  We had a great time but we were all ready for a nap when we got home!

Enjoy some pics from our day at the lake...

It's a miracle I'm sitting upright here (sooo tired!)

The ladies love Levi

Family!

Sweet Dreams!
