Wow, days are blurring together. Cody is two weeks old today. We've been both busy yet relaxing and resting. Let's backtrack...We came home from the hospital on Sunday, then Monday Barb (Greg's mom) arrived. Tuesday, Greg's dad, John, arrived. They have been so amazing: doing tons of laundry, cooking fabulous meals and giving oodles of love to Cody. One of the pics attached is the decal Greg and John put up in the nursery. Cody is already fascinated with his tree. He had a good pedi appointment last week and today, he is almost back at birth weight. Greg and I shared a great 4th anniversary on July 1st. We had a great meal complete with cake and champagne! For the 4th of July Greg and John bbq-ed using our grill and we sat outside. Its been so nice here, unlike the crazy heat of back east. Cody has had some great nights (where he sleeps in four hour chunks) and a couple cluster feeding nights (where he's up feeding every 1.5 to 2 hours, but Greg and I have gotten a good night time routine. Greg gets him when he cries, changes him and brings him to me in bed. Usually I'm a sweating mess (hopefully that will flush out soon, but I've already lost 15 lbs) I nurse the little man and put him back in bed. Today Cody and I went for our first solo walk for an hour. It felt great to be outside. I got his birth certificate today so he is official. I went to a lactation consultant yesterday which was really helpful, knowing exactly the right position to nurse is essential to feeling good about nursing. So far, so good. Well I'm starving, Greg biking home and we're going to give Cody a sponge bath. He lost the rest of his umbilical cord last night. So we'll clean him up, eat, and watch the World Cup.
