and I was concerned that he might not be getting enough to eat! My little peanut is now 10lbs 6.7oz! It was hard to see the growth (still is) as he continues to be long and lean - I kept expecting him to turn into a plump roly poly baby when he started gaining. Of course, some of this also is related to my neurosis that I keep thinking that I am not producing enough milk for him but so far so good (apparently!)
We had an amazing (albeit, one time) experience last saturday night - Zane slept from 11:45 pm to 5:45 am!!! It was unreal and while he has not yet even gotten remotely close to this feat again (best is we hang out at the 3 1/2 almost 4 hour range) it was an amazing encouragement to us.
I am not looking forward to his eight week appointment - in that he will be getting immunizations - but it will give us the next insight to his continued growth! When he was circumcised (in the pediatrician's office, they didn't do it in the hospital) Mark and I were only two doors down and could hear the screaming. Much different sound than the "I'm hungry" or "I'm wet" or "Just hold me" cries - it was the "OH MY GOODNESS WHAT IS GOING ON HELP ME!!!!!!" cry and just cut me through the heart. I used to give a lot of immunizations when I was volunteering at CAPN (free clinic in ATL), sometimes five at a time, and I have A LOT more sympathy for the caregivers/parents now watching me plunge needles in their kids. Sheesh, kinda glad I didn't know then what they were feeling!
In other news, Zane smiled at us for the first time this evening!! He has been a sweet sleep smilier for some time
but tonight when Mark got home from work we were playing with him and he definitely cracked a smile a few times. It was just awesome! Of course, when we tried to recreate the moment we got this pouty sad face - I couldn't resist posting the video though, it is so cute!
