2 Weeks Old!

Wow time is flying by! I can't believe my little man is already 2 weeks old, it feels like just yesterday we brought him home! Here's some updates on how Soren has been doing this week:

Measuring: 6 lbs. 5.5 oz. at his pediatrician appt. on Monday, 19.5 inches long

Eating: Soren is getting to be a much better nurser. We have eliminated the need to pump and use the nipple shield, we are going au-naturale now. He eats every 2-3 hours, with more frequent feedings in the evening and less frequent during the night.

Sleeping: Soren is up around every 4 hours at night to eat, but two nights ago he went a 6.5 stretch! He currently sleeps in bed with us either in the First Years Close & Secure Sleeper, or on my arm cuddled next to me. He gets very active when it's bedtime, just like he did in the womb. We're finding if he sleeps next to us, he sleeps great! We're hoping to break this soon, but a happy, restful baby equals happy, restful parents.

Likes: Soren likes to be swaddled, his paci, bathtime, being held, being 'worn' both with the Baby Bjorn and the Moby, car rides

Dislikes: Soren does NOT like diaper and clothes changes, when his paci falls out, and choking on his spit-up :-(

This week we... have had lots of visitors, went to a reunion, visited Kyle, Monica, Kylie & Ben, went on our first Mall excursion just Soren and momma, stayed in the air conditioning as it is extremely hot here in Minnesota (!!!), and visited my acupuncturist who helped bring Soren into our lives.
