Gabe Update 4/20/07

Gabe has his new bedding all set up now, but the crib looks like it has swallowed him whole! He is so tiny in there, I could fit at least 3 of him in it! LOL
He went for his Hip U/S yesterday, everything looks good, so no concern! YAY!
We don't see the doctor for another few weeks, then it's for the first round of shots... not looking forward to that at all. I'm gonna make Daddy go, I'm not good at them poking the babies, I cry as bad, if not worse, than they do!

He's been doing really good, likes baths - as long as it's nice n warm. Uncle Mikey got a new wipes warmer for his Nephew- he didn't like the cold on his tushie. He's up to about 4 to 6 ounces per feed - about every 4 hrs. or so. I think we have a night owl though, he's been getting up more, right around the 3:30am / 4am time frame and thinks we need to entertain him, which, at that time, I'm pretty much entertaining the idea of sleep... but hey, we'll get him back on schedule, lots more to do during the day, we'll have to play more and keep him alert and see if that turns things around!

Weight Check 4/6/07

I took Gabe in for his 2 week weight check today, his last appointment he was at 5 pounds, 4 ounces. Today he weighed in at 6 pounds, 9 ounces! So a great gain of 1 pound, 5 ounces in 2 weeks! So great news there! He goes back May 8th for his 2 month shots... oh yay.

We caught Gabe this last week, smiling up a storm, must be those angels keeping his grinnin'! He really is such a doll, he sleeps through the night pretty good - about 6 to 7 hours at a stretch, we try to let him sleep, but end up waking him to eat because we get nervous! I don't want him missing out on a meal! I've also resorted to putting his crib against my side of the bed for reach-in ability... I'm nuts, always poking at him to make sure he's breathing ok, not cold, not wet, not stinky, yadda yadda... Gabe is probably thinking "Momma, leave me alone so I can get some sleep!" Poor lil peanut! Iam just so happy he is growing and gaining!

BTW: Remember... April is...................

Gabe's first Dr. visit 3/23/07

Daddy took Gabe to his first weight check. He has gone up to 5 pounds, 4 ounces and 18 1/2 inches from his release on 3/20 of 4 pounds, 14 ounces and birth length of 17 1/4 inches! yay!
We are all so happy he is growing and gaining, I have been worried since my BF attempts haven't been so successful and the pump is slowly decreasing as well. *sigh* At least he's doing good on the Enfacare 22 calorie formula! His next appt is on 4/6/07 - So we will keep y'all posted on how much he's grown and / or gained then!

Even Big Brother William is enjoying Gabe - now this is something I had to get a picture of, Will hasn't exactly ever been "baby friendly" like most guys, afraid he will "break" him or something! LOL

Gabe is Home!

3/20/07

Gabe came home today. We ran around the early part of the day putting together baby furniture and getting things set up. We got to the hospital and quickly changed him into his new outfit and strapped him in his new car seat and we left as soon as the papers were signed just in case they changed their minds! LOL

Everyone at home was so anxious, as soon as we got in the door, they crowded around the newest addition to the tribe and have been in love ever since!

So sorry I have been late on the updates, We've been "babymooning" and things have been hectice around here... more on that when I keep updating! ;)
