Carson had his 2 week appointment on Thursday, he is finally gaining back weight, but he hasn't quite made it to his birth weight yet. He was 9 lbs 3 oz at birth and lost more than the Dr. wanted him to, they most they are supposed to lose is 10% of their body weight and Carson lost 13%. He got all the way down to 7 lbs 15 1/2 oz but he is now back to 8 lbs 13 oz, woohoo! He has also grown from 20 3/4 inches at birth to 22 inches, he is tall just like Daddy. We go back this Thursday to weigh him and he will hopefully be back to birth weight by then.
He eats ALL the time, I don't think he likes for me to sleep at night. The worst part is I'm starting to see a pattern in his sleep schedule and its not a very fun pattern. He sleeps from about 9pm until 1030 or so, then he wakes up and nurses for an hour, is wide awake looking around after that until about midnight then he eats for another 45 minutes or so, awake time until 130 am then another hour of nursing....finally around 230 he goes to sleep for about an hour then he eats from 330 to 430 then sleeps for two hours (woohoo for 2 hours!) then is usually awake or eating from 630 until around 8 am, then he FINALLY goes to sleep until around 11 am or so. That is my night during the day he sleeps for 2-3 hour stretches all day so I'm not sure why he's up so often all night...I really hope he starts sleeping more soon, it doesn't seem like a newborn should be up that much.
