Wednesday was Mason's 2 week birthday. We went to the doctor and he weighed 7 lbs. 14 ounces. He is only 2 ounces off his birth weight, so I guess we're doing alright. He is 20 inches long now. However, he is in the 30th percentile for weight and height which is quite small. We will work on fattening him up over the next few weeks. Heavens knows that I produce enough milk to feed at least two or three babies!! I was a bit concerned that he was jaundiced and he is a little, but not enough that it needs to be treated (whew!) He is such a good little baby. It makes me feel guilty to admit this, but he sleeps for 5-6 hours at a time (at night) and the past couple nights has only woke up once. The guilt is there because technically they say I should wake him up every 3 hours to eat, especially because of the jaundice. However, as my best friend said today, I have two other kids to take care of, so I let him sleep. And it didn't help that Keith left early yesterday morning to go to Houston. He was supposed to be home all week to help out, but of course that didn't happen. I am a bit surprise at how well things have gone since he was gone. I managed to survive alone and that was a fear I have had. Of course, I didn't have to worry about taking Jared to school because I have some amazing friends (the Peters) who helped with that.
So, all in all things are going well. I am truly blessed with healthy children, a loving husband, and amazing friends.
