Our little Alexander is two weeks old today. Happy 2 weeks birthday, Xander!!! Michael will be posting more photos soon (sorry, he has had the stomach flu and is just now feeling a little better). Xander's circumcission is healing nicely, and he is getting baths more regularly now that it is healing. But he does have a little bit of a diaper rash right now. *sad baby face* The doctor says he is 7 lbs, 4 ounces, as of yesterday, and is gaining weight at a wonderful rate. After his circumciussion, he cried a lot and wanted comfort for a few days, but now is back to sleeping quite a bit (as preemies are want to do, I read). He is feeding pretty well now, and aside from occasional boob preference- don't ask me why, but he prefers the left breast)- he nurses like a champ. We love him and hope that he continues to grow strong and healthy as the weeks progress.
We are receiving our first friend-guests tomorrow: our friends Brett and Casie and their girls are stopping by tomorrow morning to say hi, see the baby, and drop off some freezable food for us. They know how hard it is to make food when you have a newborn to take care of! Thanks guys!!! We'll see you soon and are looking forward to your visit.
