Week Two

So life with Cooper continues, and we have no complaints - he is eating so well, sleeps great, doesn't cry, and is having longer spurts of being awake/aware and taking in the world around him.  We just want to hold him all the time, but are resisting those urges so he gets accustomed to sleeping on his own. (but it is difficult!) 

Cooper's favorite sleeping position. Touchdown!

Speaking of touchdowns, all decked out for the game.

We so TRIED to send good vibes to the Giants, but alas....

Have to head out now for two doctor appointments.  One is the regular weekly check-up with the pediatrician to monitor his progress.  We truly believe he has gained quite a bit of weight this week, and that would be a great thing.  The other appointment?  He did not pass his hearing test at the hospital, so Maria has to take him in for a rescreening.  Now, Lori was quite alarmed when she heard these results, but Maria and the audiologist both assured her that that it is NORMAL for newborns (and especially preemies) to "fail" this test.  And anyway, it would be way too ironic if Maria gave birth to a child with a hearing loss, wouldn't ya say? :-) No worries.  All will be fine! 

Had lots of family visit this week, and will post those pictures later!
