Ryan turns one week!

We are in heaven. It is such a pleasure snuggling with our little love bug all day and night. We took him for his one week check up and our holistic PD said that he was 21 1/2 inches long (an inch shorter than he was at birth) and 11 pounds and 15 ounces. Our allopathic PD said that he was 12 pounds and 2 ounces and 22 inches long. ha! What do they know? We know that he is perfect and that is all that matters.
The jaundice was a 15.2 which slightly increased in the 24 hours that we had him at home. However both PD's said that his coloring is perfect and there is no need to test him again. Wahoo!

Our allopathic Dr. is concerned with his weight which surprises me because he knows how our kids are with their weight...small but he still wants us to come in next week for another weigh in. Dr. Song didn't even comment on it but we are to see her in 2 weeks.
So far, both Rob and I have been good at dating each of our kids. It has worked out well and I am sure we will continue to do it this way. Now if only we had time to date ourselves?!?

The only thing that I had forgotten about newborns is the amount of laundry they require and a boy has ten times more because they spray like the whales do. High and mighty. My laundry has even increased. But isn't he worth it??
Big sister loving little brother....or getting her picture taken. I think it might be a toss up. ;)

First picture of the three of them.
