Week Four

I can't believe that AJ is four weeks old now. He is getting bigger every day. I swear he is going thru a growth spurt now. He is eating all the time and sleeping for longer periods. There has been a lot that has been going on the last couple of weeks. Last week AJ and I had to go to Atlanta to see the pediatric urologist to see if he was going to be able to have a normal circumcision done or have to have something fixed. It was a two hour drive for a five minute appointment to find out that everything was ok and that it could have been done while we were at the hospital. I figured that they would find nothing wrong but it is better to be safe then sorry.

I did end up really sick this last weekend. I ended up with mastitis which hurts like crazy and I had a high fever. I ended up going to the doctor on Monday and ended up on antibiotics. I feel way better now and was able to get all of the sleep I needed since I started taking care of the baby my self.

We did end up getting AJ's circumcision done this week. I had to go and take him myself since Alex wasn't able to come for moral support. He had meetings all day. I felt so bad taking him in for it but I know that it is what we wanted. He was a trooper for the whole deal. He calmed down after I got him and fed him. He did get even with the doctor though the last time he checked him out. After the doctor opened his diaper he peed in his face. It was so funny that everyone in the room got a good laugh. The thing that will make the whole day memorable is that it happened on Valentines Day. What a way to spend his first Valentines Day.

It is amazing to see how he changes everyday. He is a wake and alert more and has more control over his head. He loves to look at himself in the mirror which is a total uncle mike and uncle Brandon thing. He smiles more while he is awake and I just love seeing his dimples. There is one thing about him. He loves to grunt in his sleep. I think he is just trying to compete with daddy. I am so glad that he sleeps so well at night through all of the noise that Alex makes.

I am still happily surprised that I have a little boy. I love snuggling with him every second I can. I hate that he is growing so fast. I just want to keep him little just a little bit longer.

Week two

AJ had his two week appointment today. He is now 9lbs and 21in long. I can't believe how big he has gotten in such a short time. He is still a good baby, probably my best one. He is sleeping most of the night which is good.

I still can't believe that I am a mother to a little boy. Alex has even said how weird it is for me or anyone refer him as his son. Sam has had to learn how to change boy diapers since she was only used to girl diapers. I didn't know that there was a difference.

AJ has past two big mile stones this past week, meeting Papa Jay and his first luncheon with Harmony and her friends. So many Korean women holding him and trying to wake him up. He slept through all of the poking and pinching. They are already planning his 100 day celebration.
