Oooh I'm so sleepy! But it's not as bad as it was the first week. I'm getting very used to this newborn business. Of course I have the help of my hubby who took about 4 weeks off to be with me and the babe... and he doesn't mind changing diapers to boot. I'm a lucky girl! Everett is growing so much! At his 2 week appointment he was at 8lbs 15oz, 21.5 inches. 54th percentile for weight and 77th percentile for height. (he is almost as tall as me!) I am going to be really biased and say he is the cutest baby ever! I nibble his face all the time. I hope he doesn't mind me doing it when he is 16. We had our first big outing early this week with a trip to Turtle Bread Bakery. I needed a jumbo peanut butter chocolate chip cookie!

I just had a feeling these weeks would need to kept open for anything. Last week I was at 5 different doctor appointments, some for me, some for the baby, some for both. This week I was just supposed to have 2 appointments but that has turned into 4 with a trip to the HOSPITAL. Yep, fun times! My blood pressure was up on Monday so they thought i should go get checked out at the hospital. I thought, well this could be it... and the funny thing is, i was more worried that i hadn't showered and shaved in a few days then having a baby! My husband said, WHO CARES... but I do! If i'm going to get all gross delivering a baby then I want to start out fresh with smooth legs and shiny clean hair! So i pretty much shower everyday just in case! HA! Back to the hospital... they hooked me up to all the monitors and drew lots of blood and I jus
