Today Will and I had to go to a doctor appt for me and a doctor appt for Will. I was way nervous because Will's eating has not been held to any kind of schedule lately and I didn't want to have to figure out how to feed him in between the appts. Luckily he ate just before we had to leave for my appt and he fell asleep in the car. He stayed asleep until we woke him up at his appt. :) I knew he would be getting hungry because it had been two hours so I was so worried he would be grumpy for his appt. However, he was happy as could be until we had to leave. By this time it was almost three hours so he was really getting hungry. During the car ride home he was fussy and ended up crying himself to sleep. Poor guy.
Will is now 10 pounds 10 ounces and 21.5 inches long. He is in the 75th% for his weight and 50% for his height. He is growing way to fast already. Part of me is excited for him to get bigger so that we can do more things together, but I am sure that when he gets bigger I will long for the times when he was smaller. :)
My appt went pretty good also. Two weeks ago my doctor started to wean me off of one of my blood pressure pills, and today she decided that I could stay off that pill from now on. So, when I left the hospital, I was on three different blood pressure pills and now I am only on one. :) I go back in a month and I hope that she will take me off the last one. But it all depends on how my blood pressure is doing.
We really enjoyed the time we had with Sandy and my parents. It was so nice to see them. When Sandy was here we didn't get to do much because we were hoping a baby would come at any minute. And then when he did there were so many complications that Sandy spent most of her time with the cats. :( It will be so nice when we get to see her and Bill again so that we can do some fun things.
While my parents were here we wanted to go to Nashville so that I could get a nursing bra. We tried to go on a Monday so that Matt could be with us, however, that day there was a fatal accident on the freeway. We were 2/3 the to Nashville when the traffic came to a dead stop. We found out that just around the corner of the road th ere33333333334444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444444. (sorry Loki wanted to say hi)
...(back to what I was saying) just around the corner of the freeway there was a really bad accident in which a person died. We were stuck in traffic for an hour or so when the cops had the two lanes of traffic turn around and drive down the shoulder to where we could get across to the other side of the freeway. Apparently the freeway was shut down for about 7 hours to clean up the road. So we had to go to Nashville on Wednesday without Matt. It was really sad when we drove around the corner where the accident was because I knew that someone had died there. On Friday we went to Matt's work so that we could see the helicopters. That was pretty fun. There was a chinook that was getting ready to take off and several black hawks flying around.
We are looking forward to Will's first Christmas. I know that he won't remember it but we will have fun anyway. :)
Here are some pictures from my parents visit and Will's one month birthday.
This was taken the day the my parent's left.
Grandma Smith spoiled his silly!
Will loves his Papa Smith!
Look at me! I am one month old today!
Will gave me this look after I got done feeding him one day. I thought it was so cute.
