Almost back to my birth weight

Well, I went to the pediatrician yesterday and I've gained a couple ounces and now I weight 8lb and 4 oz - almost back to my birth weight. Doc says I'm gaining good weight and should be back to my birth weight of 8lb 11 oz by Sunday.

I'm eating about every 3 hours for about an hour each time, though I get really sleepy towards the end and mommy has to keep me awake so I eat more. I love play time with daddy, especially when we both lay on our tummies and just look at each other. I've been peeing through my diapers and some days I go through 3 outfit changes just to keep dry clothes on. My umbilical cord is going to fall off any day now and I'm excited to have my first bath at home and get my hair washed again.

Sometimes I toot and make mommy laugh while she's feeding me just so I can have a milk shake. :) Hope you enjoy these new pictures mommy took of me.

And now, what you've all been waiting for... (drumroll please) more pictures of our cutie!

Everyone is doing great. Tyler is eating really well and we're working hard to gain 1 lb to get back to our birth weight by next week's appointment. I am still sore...well, everywhere, but it seems to be getting better each day so that's encouraging. Enjoy the pictures! Don't forget you can click on the picture to enlarge it.

Countdown Stats

39 Weeks
Still 1 cm dilated
His heartbeat: 147
My blood pressure: 126/72

Everything still looks good. Doc says if he doesn't come by the 9th I could be induced as early as the 14th. We're hoping he comes on his own before the 14th.
