London is 14 days old today. Insert the crying emoji. These two weeks have gone by so fast. With no warning at all, all his scaly skin is gone. Just this subtle change in his appearance seems to have taken him from newborn to baby, in a blink of an eye. He had THAT appointment today. It started with a prick to his foot that sent mama into tears. There was no way I could have stayed for what was to come, but daddy did. When we got home we had lots of cuddles and looked at London's Art Cards (btw, completely fascinating to watch him actively look at the cards!) before heading out for a fall walk. This is my third day in a row of walking 30+ minutes. We've been lucky to have no rain. I feel stronger and stronger every day but admit my body shows some signs that maybe I need to rein it in a bit. I just feel SO GOOD, compared to that last month of pregnancy and I am ready to get on the move. But, all in due time I suppose. More than anything, I'm trying to keep concentrated on relaxing, to stop worrying about being 'productive', and just be in every moment. The days are going quickly.
For the Record Book:
9.3 lbs (up almost a whole pound since birth!)
14.25 head circumference
21.25 inches long
London had a rough last couple days.. just fussy and up for hours on end and wouldn't get to sleep till midnightish. It reached a point where I broke the cardinal rule and brought him into bed with us and a DockaTot is now on it's way. But today, our London of the first week is back. He's calm. Mellow. Hasn't fussed hardly at all. He's relaxed. He's sleeping in his bed, and even put himself to sleep tonight. Such a drastic change. We'll see if it carries through out the night.
Other News: Tonight I took Tristen to the soccer game and daddy and London stayed home by themselves and London took a bottle for the very first time - an entire 4 ounces - like a champ. I've been a little resistant to starting the bottle but it is 1000% necessary that he take a bottle once I return to work and it'll be take some pressure off of me if Rhett to be able to feed him from time to time.
On tomorrow's agenda.... a Halloween costume for London, what oh what should he be??

He is beautiful! I love seeing all his pictures on Instagram! And you are making this look easy, which gives me hope because I am scared about how it will be when we bring Cameron home from the hospital. You rock, mama! Plus, you look amazing too! So glad you are feeling good!
