Torsten at one week!


I cannot believe we have been a family of four for an entire week already. The transition has been so easy, it is almost scary. I did not know that I could have another baby as good as Stone! Everyone told me it was not possible, but I guess they were wrong. The boy loves his sleep and really loves his bed (thank goodness). He went to the Dr for his one week checkup today and she informed me that I had to have a 3rd baby because everyone needs that challenging child, hahahaha!

Weight at one week: 8 lbs 7 oz (95%). The hospital did not tell us his discharge weight, so we do not know if this is up or down from discharge.
Length at one week: still at 21.5 inches (95%).
Head: 50%

Formula: He is taking around 3 oz every 3-5 hours. He does not always finish the bottle though. He is a horrible burper so we still have a little bit of spit up issues.

Sleep: He goes to bed around 10 or 11, wakes at 2:00-2:30, then again at 5:00-5:30 am. Cannot complain really.

Mommy on the other hand had to go on blood pressure medicine, because it is just not coming down on it's own. Dr. V assures me that it is only temporary though, since I have never had blood pressure over 102/64 my entire pregnancy.
