8 days old

Ok, I decided to go ahead and create a new
blog for those of you interested in the daily happenings of
Lex. He’s quite the active boy. He squirms and stretches and
yawns and even keeps his eyes open for long stretches of time.
Such a good baby. Alan is ready for him to do more. I’m happy
with him so small and adorable.

So far
we’ve taken him on a few stroller outings (grocery store,
doctors, etc.) and he does very well. We even had our first
public breastfeeding session :) Today was beautiful so we
stopped on the green between errands and fed the baby. He was
very happy. It was like a picnic :)

I’m
going to put some time into getting his baby pictures online
now. We have *tons* of them, so I don’t think I’ll put them all
up, but we’ll see.

New blog

Due to overwhelming demand (2 people) I have decided to create a new blog for Lex. Check it out at http://littlelex.blogspot.com/ I wanted just lex.blogspot.com, but that was already taken… though not well used. I wonder how you go about acquiring a blog URL from someone… But anyway, I’m going to stop posting here and start posting there, so be sure to update your bookmarks or whatever. I’m not thrilled with the look of the new one yet, but I’ll work on it later.

One week

Baby Lex is now officially one week old :) Good baby.

We went for a checkup today and he is almost back to his birth weight (was 7lbs, 9oz – now 7lbs 8oz). That made me feel very good because I’ve been having trouble breastfeeding him (it’s way more difficult than it seems!) and I was nervous that he wasn’t getting enough food. Guess I was wrong. He got a clean bill of health.

So, now I have a question for all of you readers out there – let me know if you’d like me to continue this whole blogging thing. If I do, I’ll probably create a new blog because I like the idea that this one is specific to the pregnancy and birth. So… leave me a comment and let me know if you’d like me to continue rambling about my baby boy or not. Thanks! :)
