One Week Old

Owen Andrew is one week old today. Right now Abigail and Josiah are enjoying some time with Mama and Papa for a few days. This is a special treat for them. My mother has been staying with us to help out.

Yesterday we went to the pediatrician for Owen. I was concerned since Owen had lost 9% of his birth weight before leaving the hospital and the doctors do not like it when they make it to 10%. However, the pediatrician said she was impressed at how much weight he had gained back. He was back up to 7lbs 13oz. He is nearly back to his birth weight after 6 days and she says it usually takes 14. So I was encouraged. The doctor thought that I must have been supplementing with formula, which I had not done. I thought about it though. I’m glad I did not do it now.

Time with Family

While I was in the hospital, my sister watched my children and took them to many fun places.  They had so much fun with their cousins!

He was born August 31st at 12:56pm weighing in at 7lbs 15oz. and 20.5 inches long.  The hospital was great.  We have had interesting experiences with the birth of our children since they were all born in different places.  This last experience was by far the best.

Abigail got to be a big sister and help out immediately.
