Hey all, it’s been too weeks of waking up throughout the night, changing dirty diapers and then going to work in the morning. It’s a tough job but we love to do it!
Nicholas is growing like a weed. Almost two weeks ago he was 9 pounds and 13 ounces (7 11 when born) and we figure he’s going to be around 11 pounds by the weighing this Wednesday. We already have a box of clothing started with stuff that he’s outgrown.
Yesterday evening was the first time I fed him. Siobhan pumped off some breastmilk for him and I finally held him while he fed. It was a wonderful feeling. Tonight we tried him with Formula for the first time. He usually eats around 9pm and then again at 3 am (his longest span throughout the day) so we are trying him on formula for the 9 pm feedings. Hopefully his little system deals with it ok.
We also took him on our first road trip on Friday. We had to go to Grand Falls to get his pictures and our (first) family portrait done. He was a great traveller. He joined us at Subway for his first dining out experience (Scallop and Bacon sub… not bad, but not something I would have again). We then sat at the McDonald’s parking lot enjoying milkshakes while he was feeding. We definatley need more space when travelling with him. The truck would never cut it for a weekend trip unless the weather was nice and we could use the box (or the camper is in tow).
I must run now, I can hear him snoring on the monitor and I feel like joining him. Good night all! Hope you enjoy the pics!!

P.S. New pics can be found in the usual spot.
