Packin' on the pounds
Today we took our little boy to his 2 week check-up and we couldn't be happier with our report! After losing about 11 oz, he has finally started to gain weight now! He has gained a total of 19 oz since birth...he started at 6 lbs 15 oz and now weighs 8 lbs 2 oz!!! :) He has no more signs of jaundice and is healthy as can be! He's even strong enough already that the doctor has ordered us not to leave him unattended on a changing table or couch - he's trying to roll over already! hahahaha! Mommy now sees why her back was hurting so bad at the end of her pregnancy - Owen must have been lifting weights in the womb!! hahahaha!

Miss Jackie and Adam,
I am so excited for ya'll and LOVE seeing your pictures!! Owen is precious and I am so glad all is goin g well! Sending much love to you!
Awesome! With all three of mine we were at the doctor every 2 days because of weight problems. And Jessica's jaundice required this weird radioactive blanket that she had to be strapped to all the time... very annoying. Ashlyn rolled over at 7 weeks! Don't underestimate his strength!
He's SO cute and 8 lbs at 2 weeks is AWESOME! Still can't wait to meet him. Hopefully before he outgrows the diapers we bought him :-)
you should feed that boy some steak... That should really get him growing. I'm pretty sure I read somewhere that you can chew up raw steak and regurgitate it for him. Maybe that was eagles... I should really stop flipping back and forth between the Discovery Health channel and Animal Planet.
cute new photos, of course! i'm pretty sure benjamin used to sleep with his arms up like that too. :) he's a sweetie!
We love you all. We can't wait to see him again and see how he has grown in person!
