Well, today the 14th is Nate's due date, so he's officially here! I've gotta admit, I'm kinda glad at this point I don't have to go through labor :) I would NEVER want to deliver the way I did the first time, but I'm just sayin...trying to find the positive in it all.
It's crazy that he's already been here for 9 weeks and he wasn't even supposed to be here until today. I wish we knew his weight for today but he doesn't go back in for a weight check until the 20th. He's doing great, Joe and I have figured out the exact bottle that he prefers so that he is now actually getting the food in his stomach rather than over his entire bib.
Grandpa and Grandma Olson were up this past weekend along with Joe's Uncle Al, Aunt Sandy, and Great Grandma Komprood. Nate got plenty of snuggle time with everybody and very much prefers being held by them all rather than laying down on his own to entertain himself.
Nate is doing much better on sleeping solid during his down time. We still have to feed him every 3 hours which gets quite tiring but he's learning to burp and toot a little easier which makes putting him down less of a battle. He's on a medication to help that happen because he tends to hold on to gas, VERY unlike his father :) Other than that he's doing wonderfully, much more awake and aware during the day so it's fun to actually see his little eyes and expressions - more so when he's not screaming.
Too cute!!!(with Joe). Happy Birthday Nate!! And yeah for eating most of the food in the bottle - I'll have to try another round of feeding him sometime soon.
