Adjusting So well

Last night Ezekiel slept 3 different 3 hour stretches in a row only waking to eat, and for two of those because I forced him too.  My supply is definitely over abundant I've had to pump a few times today just to get relief as my breasts became hard as rocks and were hurting and I refuse to allow myself to get mastitis.

Ezekiel has stolen our hearts and we are so very much in love.  Yesterday we took him to his first pediatrician appointment where they said he looks perfect.  He is now 6 pounds 13 ounces, two ounces up from his hospital release date so that is wonderful my little man is gaining weight.  We will be heading back to them on Thursday in order to do a second weight check just to make sure that he is continuing to gain.

After we left the pediatrician appointment we went out on our first family outing to go get icecream and then we went to babies R us to grab a few things we need.  First of all who on earth ever said don't buy a bunch of newborn diapers they grow out of them so quick.  I'm sure they do but with the amount this kid has been peeing and pooping we are gonna have  to go buy more, now granted we only had 2 packs but still its not even been a week and we opened up a new pack.  Though now that he's done pooping the meconium I noticed his poop has become less frequent.  Man He pooped all the time in the hospital.  He's our little champion through and through.  But while we were out he didn't make a peep he was just so calm and relaxed and peaceful it was so nice.  

I love watching Isaac with the baby.  He is just so loving and caring and so gentle it melts your heart.  He also handles him like he's a super delicate piece of glass that if even the wind blows a certain way it might break.  He is definitely getting more comfortable.  We have him sleeping on his side of the crib in order to 1-keep me from constantly checking on the baby 2-allow him to be able to feel more at peace, since he wants to check on him too.  It makes me laugh at ourselves.

Funny story for the day- Isaac hasn't changed a single diaper yet today so I asked him to check the baby since it had been a while...well no poo but he had peed so he went to change him. Got him all swirled up with his vaseline and he pees all over himself, Isaac and the changing pad.  So Isaac takes the clothes off and the diaper and the changing pad blanket and he was about to use and starts going for another one Ezekiel poops all over the place.  So he had to go for another diaper.

So now for the transition:
