Alex will be two weeks old tomorrow. Time has flown by. Sarah Beth is on the same schedule with breastfeeding- every two hours during the day, every three hours at night. Angela is really helping us out with Alex and chores around the apartment for which we are greatful. Angela is staying with us for a couple more weeks- once she leaves Sarah Beth and I will have a lot more work around the apartment and with Alex.
Sarah Beth and Angela took Alex to the pediatrician on Wednesday. He gained a few ounces. He was 7 lbs 1 oz. The pedeatrician indicated that Alex is in good health. The next pedetrician appointment is June 8th.
On Saturday Sarah Beth and I went to I-Hop in the morning while Angela watched the baby. It was the first time that Sarah Beth went somewhere without the baby. We have been advised not to take Alex anywhere public (for example restauraunts, shops, etc...) until his immune system better develops.
Today I got to watch Alex by himself as Sarah Beth and Angela went to the mall for a couple of hours. I held him and I also put him in the bouncer. I was a little nervous watching him- especially since I can not feed him. It was a fun experience being by myself with the baby. Angela and Sarah Beth came back within two hours- at the time when Alex was getting hungry. Angela and Sarah Beth had two hours to drive to the mall (15 mins away), get the shopping done and drive back. They accomplished everything in record time. It was a fun experience being by myself with the baby. Sarah Beth said "they ran at the mall from place to place".
