Today we had a Dr. appt for Danny. He is now weighing 6lb 10oz. He's almost newborn size!! Yeah! Everything looks good. His hematocrit is still a little low, so he has to stay on iron fortified vitamins for awhile, but that's not a big deal. Also, because he is gaining steady weight, he is no longer required to have bottles! Whoo hoo!
Other than that, we are just enjoying our little guy. We have gone on a couple of hikes thus far, and are enjoying our time together at home. Kenneth takes care of the "fun" side, and I take care of the "snuggle" side of things. I must say that Heavenly Father blessed me with a VERY good baby!! He only ever cries when he is hungry, or if he gets cold at night from kicking off his swaddling blanket, so I always know what's wrong with him! He is starting to spend more time awake during the day, and it is fascinating to watch him look around taking everything in.
We still are not venturing out too often to public areas, and church is still definitely out of the question. When we attended Kenneth's sister's (Stephanie) homecoming talk, we tried to leave as soon as the prayer was done, and we were STILL bombarded by people! I felt like we were fighting people off as we tried to leave the building! So, yeah...still no church. Overall we are trying to switch off so we can at least attend Sacrament Meeting. Still trying to figure out when we will be blessing him as well.
Well, that's about it! Here are some pictures of our little guy!
