On Monday, Cameron had another weight check and had gained 1.2 lbs in two weeks! He now weighs 6lbs 11 oz and is definitely starting to chub up! The doctor was very happy with his weight gain and said we can now let him sleep between 4-6 hour stretches during the night. We did have one 5 1/2 hour stretch the other night but usually it is about 3-4 hours in between night time feedings. Cory and I have definitely been getting a lot more sleep these last couple of weeks. We have worked out our nighttime routine and everything is going great.
Last Friday we went over to my sisters apartment for a cookout for her birthday! Cameron had a great time and was a trooper out in the heat. He got to visit with his Aunt Whitney, Grandma and Grandpa O'Brien, Great-Grandma and Grandpa Spittler, my Aunt Amy and Uncle Brian and their kids Natalie and Valerie, and Marilyn and Bob! While everyone played with Cam, mommy and daddy got a break and played some cornhole! Overall we had a great time and it was nice to get out of the house for a bit and interact with people. We also made a trip to the mall to walk Cam around in his stroller. He was an angel the entire time. He seems to do really well when we go out which makes things a lot easier on us. We just have to make sure we plan on going places around his feedings which is a little difficult sometimes.
On Tuesday, Cameron and I went with Cory to help set up his classroom (he goes back to school on the 17th). Cam slept most of the time we were there which allowed me to help Cory get some stuff organized. All of the ladies at Cory's office loved seeing Cam!
Yesterday we went to Danville to pick up Cameron's birth certificate. He was awake the entire ride there and didn't make a peep. That was probably because Cory read to him from his Sports Illustrated! Cameron loves to be talked to and read to. We sit in the glider and read him a few books every day! He also really enjoyed his lullaby CD that his Aunt Whitty got him. I have pretty much memorized all of the songs now that we have listened to it so much and even without the CD if I start singing one of the lullabies he calms down immediately.
Next Friday, Cameron gets his 2 month shots. I am a little nervous about them and know that I am going to be a wreck when he starts crying. The doctor told us we can give him a little baby tylenol to help with pain and try to prevent a fever. I'm hoping that everything goes smoothly and that his weight gain is still going good.
I have added some pictures from the past couple of weeks. I will try to update after Cameron's doctor's appointment next week!
