First well-baby appointment/first day mommy and O.

Owen went to the dr. on Monday, June 29, 2009. He saw Dr. Diab.
Owen's stats:

weight: 9 lbs. 4.7 oz. (61st percentile)
length: 22 1/4 inches (91st percentile)
head circumference: 37 cm. (43rd percentile)
moro reflex: good
Dr. says "he is perfect!"

There is no percentile system for hair!

So today is mommy's first day at home with baby alone. We are doing great! Here is a rundown of our day so far:

O. has settled into a new pattern the past couple of days of eating every 2 hours instead of every 3 and not falling to sleep for about 45 min. to an hour after eating. This means that instead of a good 3 hours of sleep for mommy, mommy is lucky to get one hour! So this is what they were talking about! So far, I've managed to eat and rest when he does, but our day so far has been like this:
3:00 am ate
5-6 slept
6:00 ate
7-8 slept
8:00 ate
9:30-10:30 slept (mom eats breakfast)
10:30 ate
11:30-12:30 slept (mom eats lunch, closes eyes for 20 min., takes out chicken to thaw for dinner)
12:30 ate
1:30 starts to fall asleep- not sleeping yet!
we are having fun!

All I have to say is that the first 6 weeks are the most challenging. Get to 6 weeks and all sorts of things start to change for the better. Well and once he smiles at you for real, you won't even care.

Blog Reader Survey!

In an effort to figure out how people are getting Owen info/pix, I am trying to find out who reads this blog regularly and uses it as their main way to keep up with our family. I am finding "photo management" to be much more difficult than getting enough sleep as a new mommy! Currently I am using facebook and this blog to share pix. I am building a Shutterfly share site as well, mainly for several people who don't use facebook or read the blog as much. If you read this, could you please leave a comment to this post or send me an email to let me know: 1. How do you like to keep up with us- Junebug blog, Casaluna blog, facebook, email, or a combination? 2. Would you want to be invited to a Shutterfly sharesite and there you can opt to receive emails when we add new pix? I don't want to bombard people with photos but at the same time love the idea that they are there for people to access when they have time or inclination. Thanks for your help with this!

Babymoon

We took a "babymoon" overnight trip this Valentine's weekend down to Carlsbad. We stayed right across from the beach and had time to relax, walk on the beach, eat yummy food, shop, see my cousin C. and her fiance M., and even go to the beautiful new Encinitas library! It was a great pre-parenting getaway! Now that I'm home, I'm starting to do the heavy-duty research on what we need and don't need, and I'm realizing I don't know much! For instance-how many bottles do we need? What's the difference between travel systems, infant car seats, bases and convertible car seats? Who knew that I didn't know? Not me! Wish us luck!!
