Owen: 3 weeks

He has started making new noises! New little coos and squeaks among his heavy breathing, grunts and whimpers! He has got to be getting close to 10 pounds, my little chunker!! LOVE HIM!!! He has outgrown 2 of his newborn outfits...so sad! He is much more alert and we are enjoying ~~staring~~ gazing into his eyes! He likes to have his arms free of the swaddle at night and is getting really good at finding his thumb.

Mommy:

I drove this week for the first time, felt weird and yet nice to be "normal".
Down another 2 whole pounds!! Good job Owen, keep sucking the pounds off me!!!
I am just enjoying our days together, we focus on Owen's needs first, then mine and then the household. The meals that friends/family have been providing have been so crucial!
