3 weeks old

my sweet baby boy is 3 weeks old today! he's so fresh and new but my heart has always loved him. yesterday he was awake for the longest period ever, 2.5 hours. the other kids had just gone to bed so we had a sweet, quiet night together. i am so in awe of how our family has changed in the most wonderful way. he had his foot poked for the LAST time today. even if his level had stayed the same, amit was not going to tolerate another foot poke for him. and not one drop of formula ever played into the equation. i am so relieved that despite my almost fear of 'disobeying' the docs orders, i stuck to what i wanted for my son, which is breastmilk only. i am so relieved to be done with all of this. rishi is TWO pounds over his birth weight, gaining one ounce shy of a full pound over the past 1 week. 9lbs 4.4oz
