Time is Flying!

So, time is flying around this house. I truly don't understand where the days are going, but they are moving quickly. Thursday night Alex slept much better, so we didn't spend a good chunk of the day in bed like the day before. We didn't have a choice because Alex had a follow-up appointment with Dr. Veronica. He weighed in at 8 lbs 2 oz , so he gained an ounce since leaving the hospital. All in all things checked out well, and we'll go back in 2 weeks for another follow-up.

After leaving the Dr's office we made our first official visit to Target!! YEAH!! Adam told Alex to get used to coming here, because Mommy could spend hours here. We weren't there to terribly long, but got what we needed. We made two other quick stops and then we were on our way home. Alex had his first bottle in the car, and managed just fine.

I've been having to pump quite a bit, as I truly have turned into a mass producer of milk!! I have so much that Alex is struggling to latch on and feed. It's been a bit frustrating, but we are working through it. We both just need practice. Adam has been such a great help, and there is without a doubt no way I could get through the breastfeeding process without him. He's such an awesome Daddy!

Last night after our busy day, Grandma and Grandpa Kershaw came and brought us dinner. They also brought along both Ma and Grandma Furness (Alex's Great-Grandma's), as well as Alex's Great-Great Aunt Pat. We had a nice visit, and of course they were all in love with our little man!

We made it through the night much better than the night before. Got a few little things done this morning and then Aaron, Liz, and Seth came over for a visit. I think Seth ended up liking Alex a bit more than he thought he would. We ended up all going to Steak-n-Shake for lunch. Somehow the whole town of Springfield showed up to eat though. We got our table stolen from us, and had a sub-par waitress! Alex managed to sleep through it all!

We came home, Alex ate and napped and Dad mowed the yard. Then we got ready for our first trip as a family to go to church!! Alex did wonderfully again! Everyone at church thought he was so cute. Fr. Kemme said he was beautiful, and you know you can't lie in church!!!

So, that brings us up to speed. We plan on giving Alex a bath in a bit, but are going to chill on the couch for a little bit. Briggs is even inside with us right now. He's done really well with Alex today. He's just really curious and want to lick him a lot. He'll eventually get it all figured out.

Hope this satisfies everyone's blog desire. I've had quite a few request for new pictures and updates, and for the most part I think you all just got a play by play of our last few days!! Thanks for thinking of us. All in all, we are doing great!!
