Baby Charles Theodore arrived on Wed at 1:11 pm! He weighed in at 7 lb 11 oz and was 20 inches long. Obviously things have been a bit hectic over here, so i will have to share the birth story another day.
Monday we took Charlie out for the first time. We went to the Dr office... he has gained 5 oz and grew 0.5 inches (probably more measurement error than real growth). It's reassuring that the breastfeeding is going well :) He is in the 25th %tile for his head, 35th for weight and 65th for height. He's long and lean (just like his parents... ha ha).
Everyone always asks how Bailey is adjusting to life as a big sister. She is so proud of her little brother! They get along very well, as you can see from the pictures. Bailey likes to play with Charlie and his toys :)
Charlie is also starting to sleep much better. As most babies do, he had his days and nights all mixed up. He would sleep for hours during the day. He slept so soundly that we couldn't wake him up to eat. So then at night, he'd be up every 45 min to 1 hour for a feeding. But he's already begun to adjust his clock. He is now sleeping for 2-3 hours at a time both in the day and at night, which is a big help. It's helped both of us get a decent amount of sleep (considering we have a newborn)!
And as if we didn't have enough pictures already, we have our photographer coming over tomorrow for our 1st photo shoot. We are splurging and will have her take a series of 3 photoshoots over the 1st year of life -- 2 weeks, 6 months and 1 year. I am excited to have her come to our house, so we can include Bailey in some of the images.
