Genesis, The first 4 weeks.

I know, I know I haven't put up the birth story that is still a work in progress and lots of it is foggy. So I'm waiting for my birth story from my doula (she takes notes! So useful.) In addition the writer in me has died off as new mommy hood has taken me tightly with a few breaks for sleep and a little bit of fun (Woo video games). So here is a short form of the things that happened.

At the Hospital

Week 1:
- He lost 10% of birth weight while mommy and him figured out this breast feeding thing. Nurse made him drink some supplement, but I continued to express (hand at first then pump) my engorgement ridden breasts. (Thank you IV fluids)
- Daddy was super, staying with Mommy as much as he could.
- Only Grandparents where allowed to come visit, Some how Aunty Jackie got snuck in.
- He loves water, your first bath no screams, you loved it.
- On the way home Daddy rushed off with him to the car while sore mommy trailed behind, amused but sore.

Week 2
- We figured out breastfeeding! It was hard stuff
- You where a nekked guy, only running about in a Diaper since our place is so warm
- You regained your lost birth weight!
- Projectile vomit, got daddy lots with it.
- You survived the long trek to Edmonton to see and say good bye your Great Grandma P, she was so excited to be a great grandma. She missed you by 7 hours before you where born. You got to meet lots of Family too.

Week 3
- Started tummy time, you lifted your head just a wee bit. Strong strong little guy
- Grandma P put you to sleep every time she burped you, as you got older you burped at her to give her the hint you wanted the back rub
- Many grunts and funny noises came out of you while you slept. We wondered if you where part sheep.
- You had your first Visitors.

Week 4
- Aunty Jackie Changed your bum!
- You really live up to your old nick name bubbles, you wouldn't let go of your burps.
- We started dressing you, things started to chill off
- You got the wiggles, waving and kicking your feet when we put you on the ground

Wiggles!
