One Week Old!

Cooper is officially one week old! We celebrated his birthday by taking him to the doctor for his one week followup appointment. He now weighs a whopping 6lbs, 5oz, which the doctor says is fantastic because he usually gives babies 2 weeks to surpass their birth weight! I think he will be outgrowing the preemie clothes we had to buy him sooner than we thought! So, what has Cooper been up to the past week? Sleeping, eating and pooping pretty much sums it up. So far he has been a really good baby, already sleeping through the night! Ha, I am so kidding!! Right now he eats about every 2 hours day and night, so needless to say I'm not getting a lot of sleep, but I know eventually that will change. He has more fussy periods than Dawson did, but that is most likely due to the fact that he was early and his tummy is a little more sensitive.

So how is the rest of the family doing? We are adjusting quite well. The first week my mom and Dave were both home and it was quite relaxing. I was a bit nervous about how things would go this week, just me and the boys, but so far things are going well! I have even managed to take a shower each morning, which I think is a big accomplishment! My friend Katie said she would agree with that because she knows people who don't have kids and find showering everyday a challenge(LOL)! Dawson loves being a big brother. Every morning he gets out of bed and runs right to Cooper's room yelling "hi"! His biggest issue is not wanting to be left out. He can't go to bed unless Cooper is already in bed and he puts up a bit of a fuss if Dave or I have to leave the house. Overall we are really enjoying being a family of four!
