I posted the week 4
photos online. Nothing too exciting, just lots of
sleeping and hanging out pictures. I also posted a picture from
my 41 week ultrasound. I realize this
is an old photo by now, but I wanted to put it up anyway. It’s
actually a neat ultrasound picture for two reasons – because
you can clearly see a face, and second because Lex was born the
next day. It’s almost like a newborn picture, but not quite. I
thought it was pretty cool.

Went to the doctor today for a check up.
Lex is now 10lbs and 8oz. He also has a bit of a diaper rash
that we’ve been trying to treat with Desitin. The doctor said
to try vaseline or something. We had A&D; at home and it
seems to be getting better already. Otherwise Lex is a very
happy, healthy boy.

This afternoon a woman from our child birth
class came to visit with her new baby. She is moving to Boston
so it was nice to get to visit before she left. Her son,
Desmond, was born on two weeks after Lex. It’s amazing to see
how much a baby changes in two weeks. We had a nice visit and
got to talk about our labor and delivery experiences,
parenting, baby stuff, etc. It was fun.
