I'm Sorry.

I haven't posted the birth story. I haven't posted more pictures. I haven't posted all the gory details of postpartum recovery (and holy cow, it is ridiculous...let's just say I've never been shy of the deuces and experiencing said shyness for the first time is horrific!).

I just want to spend every, single waking minute snuggling and kissing and loving on Alex. Because of that, I just don't have the time to devote to the novel-length post (and required wit) the birth story will require. It's so hard to believe that tomorrow is already his 1 week birthday and he's changed so much! I was looking at pictures of my cousin's son who was born last year about this time and he's already SO big. Pictorial proof that time flies all too quickly mixed with my raging hormones melted me into a sea of unexplainable sobs.

Moving on...

Alex had his first pediatrician appointment today and passed with flying colors. (Sidenote: I'm so, so, so, so pleased with our choice in doctors. It was well worth the frustration and time to visit 4 practices and weigh the pros and cons of each.) His stats? Still 19" and has chubbed back up to 6 lb. 13 oz. Momma's milk is working wonders! On that note, where was this AWESOME rack when I was 17? I could have definitely put them to good use back then, sheesh!

After our appointment we went to work to show him off visit with our work family. He snoozed the WHOLE time (about an hour) as he was passed from friend to friend. I wish he would have woken up to show off his beautiful eyes, but he was more content to just zonk out and snore. Actually, that's probably what a lot of us want to do at work most of the time, right? Maybe Alex was on to something...

Here's another favorite picture of the moment. He's just chillin' like a villain watching the Wings with his Daddy. I love my life.
