It’s almost 4 am and Noby is wide awake. 🙁

I think he might have his nights and days mixed up. I’m not sure how I’m gonna fix that.

Even cute at 4 am!

Today we headed to the doctors again for a weight check. We are happy and excited to report that “little” Noby is weighing in at 8lbs 14 oz. He gained an entire pound since his last visit. The doctor was VERY happy and very impressed on how alert Noby is. She said he was doing great! YEAH!

Today we had a big day.  We headed to CT to visit Noby’s THREE Great Grand Parents.  It was VERY exciting.  Check out these pictures…

This was before we left for the day, I think he was trying to tell dad he wasn’t ready for his close-up.

After the long trip, Noby was ready for lunch.  He was excited that Grand-Memere was able to feed him.

Next Great-Grandma took her her turn. 

Grand-Pepere just loved his time with Noby.

As many of you know, Keith and Megan will be getting married in Nov.  Today, Megan’s wedding party threw her a lovely shower at Sel de la Terre in Boston.  VERY YUMMY!!

I just love the place settings Megan picked out! 

Dina made a beautiful scrapbook for Keith and Megan!  What fun pictures!!! 

While mommy was at the shower, Noby and Daddy spent the day watching Nascar on TV.  When I got home then were both passed out waiting for the rain delay to pass.

Inu found a new seat!

Saturday was filled with friends coming to meet Noby.  It was great to have everyone!

First Grandpa came. We were happy to see him but knew it meant that Memere was leaving soon. 🙁

Neils and Rebecca came next.  Thanks for bring everyone lunch!!

Katie flew in all the way from Virgina to meet Noby.  We can’t thank you enough for the wonderful scrap book!

Before Memere and Grandpa left we took a family picture.  Looks like Noby wasn’t ready for Memere to leave!

Today Memere and I gave Noby his first “bath”.  I use the quotation marks because it was more of a sponge bath.  He didn’t seem to mind at all, what a good baby!!!

Wednesday started with another visit to the doctors. Again we needed to check Noby’s weight and jaundice levels. Today was MUCH better. Sue, the lactation consultant at this office was right about the breast shields. Noby was able to eat, causing him to pee and poop. I have NEVER been so happy to see poop before. NEVER! Noby’s weight was up to 7 lb 14 oz and we couldn’t be happier. Before we left the office we headed to the lab for the third day of blood work. The nurses tried 3 times in his arm and twice on his heal, and nothing. They couldn’t find the veins. It was so sad to hear him scream, we had to stop, even the nurse said it was enough!

In the afternoon we ran to a couple of stores. Check out this first visit to the Depot!!

Again, can you tell that memere is with us, LOTS of photos!!!

Tonight, Keith and Megan came to visit Noby. It was great to have some company!!!

Maybe Noby will get a playmate soon!!! 🙂

Here are a few pictures of Noby and Daddy relaxing!!

After being up most of the night, we got up early to go back to the pediatrician. This visit would consist of a second weight check, a second blood check and a visit with yet another Lactation Consultant. I didn’t have high hopes for her, seeing that all the other Lactation Consultants were not helpful. I figured by this time it was a lost cause.  So at this appointment, Noby’s weight stayed the same.  This was good, it means that the formula was working.  He also made it though the blood test and Sue, the Lactation Consultant suggested we went to Babies R Us to purchase some nibble shields.

The nurses really got to know Noby. 

Today, Kathy came to visit from CT.  It was a wonderful!  She was able to help me with all my questions on breast feeding and we even worked on how we were going to paint the train in the baby’s room.
