Day 92

Over 7lbs. 2oz. and over 3 months old! I had an ultrasound done on my back today to look at my spine and everything looks good. Yesterday we met with the lactation consultant and had a doctors appointment. Mom and I have been really busy going to all my appointments, but all the results have been positive. Soon we will won't have so many appointments to go to. We have been getting out for lots of walks during the day too, seeing the weather has been so gorgeous.

Day 88

Happy Birthday to me! I was due today! Mom keeps telling me that she sure is happy that she doesn't have to deliver me now. I am just shy of 7 lbs. I had a doctors appointment this week and I have gone from the 2nd percentile for weight to the 25th. I'm growing like a weed!

Day 85

What an exciting weekend! On Friday night Mom and Dad took me back to the hospital to see the nurses that looked after me for the first two months. They were all impressed with how much I had grown. It sure was nice to see them again.
When we got home from the hospital Grandma and Grandpa were at our house. They stayed until Sunday. I got lots of cuddle time with them. It was a great visit.
Dad didn't have to work on Monday because it was a long weekend. We spent lots of time together. We watched the Sens win on Saturday. Go Sens Go!

Day 80

Well Mom staying up and feeding me all night sure is paying off. I am 6 pounds 6 ounces! Hard to believe that I was ever 2.5 pounds. Despite the fact that Mom feels like she's always feeding me I still find time to suck my thumb.
Grandma and Grandpa Gainsbrook are coming to visit tomorrow and I am so excited. I haven't seen Grandpa since I was in the hospital. I hope he will want to watch the Sens game on Saturday.

Day 79

Not much new with me these days. Still just sleeping, eating and growing. Mom is going to take me to get weighed tomorrow. Hopefully I'll be over 6 pounds. Mom took me to the doctors this week to have my tongue clipped. After the consultation with the doctor she decided not to get it done. At this point it is not causing me any problems so she opted to wait.
My new thing this week is that I like to be held. If Mom or Dad put me down I get upset. Mom found she wasn't able to get much done during the day because she was holding me all the time. She decided to get me a new carrier that allows her to have her hands free while holding me. I find it really comfortable.

Day 76

Sens Rock! Ok, now for more pictures of me...

Day 73

I'm gaining over and ounce a day! Mom took me to get weighed yesterday and I am 5 pounds 10.5 ounces. Soon I'll be as big as a typical newborn. At the hospital when we go to get me weighed Mom always gets lots of questions from people. They see me in my car seat and ask how old I am. People are always shocked to hear that I am over two months old. Mom explains to them how big I am now.
Mom's friends threw a surprise shower/dinner for her last night. I got lots of fun new gifts from her friends and I got to spend the night with Dad. I'm spending tonight with Dad too while Mom plays ball. I think we are going to watch the Sens game again.

Day 70

Well today was a day of firsts. I had my first stroller ride around the block! Up until now Mom always carried me in her sling, but tonight we busted out the serious hardware and did some onroading. Woohoo! Also tonight I gave Mom and Dad their first dose of awake time. Usually I sleep, wake up and cry when I feel hungry, slurp back some milk and then immediately fall asleep again. Tonight I stayed awake! Mom and Dad kept looking at me...I kept looking at them...this silly thing went on for about half an hour before Mom finally pulled out a play mat for me to have some fun with.

Day 67

Here I am in my new Amby bed. I love it. Mommy can finally get some sleep.
I had my two month vaccinations this week. I hardly even cried, it was nothing compared to all the times I got poked while I was in the NICU.
I'm growing like a weed! I'm a whopping 5 pounds and 3 ounces now. That's over twice my birth weight.

Day 64

Dad bought me a Sens jersey today! Go Sens! Its a little big, but I'll fill it out soon enough!

My fancy new Amby bed is supposed to arrive tomorrow. Mom and Dad think this is going to stop me from fussing and crying all night long. Hahahah. No chance! Its going to take more than that to keep me quiet...
