2 weeks old already!!??

Where have the past 2 weeks gone? Well let's see probably to eating, sleeping and pooping, but I wouldn't change it for the world! They always say motherhood is a life changing experience, but you truly never know until you experience it. Granted we are sleep deprived and some days are better than others, but life couldn't get much better with sweet Matthew. He is such a blessing!

We had a great first week home. Jason was able to be home the entire week, which made our first week so smooth. He ran errands, went to the grocery store, made dinner for us, anything and everything you could imagine. I couldn't ask for a more amazing husband!

One amazing husband!

Today we had another pediatrician appointment. Matthew weighed 5.9 lbs, so almost back up to his birth weight. When we were discharged from the hospital he weighed 5.3 lbs, then at his first pediatrician appointment he dropped to 5.2 lbs. So our pediatrician recommended I supplement along with breastfeeding and it seems to be doing the trick to put weight on our little guy. We have another appointment in 2 weeks, so I'm hoping we'll be well over the 6 lb mark.

On our way to the pediatrician!
Like I said, it's been a good 2 weeks. Today was the first real day that I finally felt exausted, which I think is pretty good since I'm getting 1.2 - 2 hr blocks of sleep at night. Matthew is so far a really good baby. He's very content, unless you have to change his dirty diaper or I give him a spong bath - he is not a fan!

And lastly, here are some fun pictures we've taken the past 2 weeks!
