Well since we've last chatted lots has happened. Henry lost his cord right at 2 weeks. He's gone past his birth weight and weighed in at 8 lbs 5 oz at 2 1/2 weeks old. He's been sleeping for 4 hour increments at night. Last night he was up at 2:30 and not again until 6:15. For mom and dad, that's do-able and there are no complaints with that. We visited with a lactation specialist from the hospital last week and he's been nursing much better now. Some days he wants to eat every 30 minutes and some days he'll sleep for hours.
This last weekend Henry got to meet his Auntie Kaitlyn and lots of extended family. We headed up to Lennox on Friday night and took family pictures in Canby on Saturday at Marc's Grandma Drietz's house. Right before Henry was born, Marc's Grandma Drietz was diagnosed with stage 4 lung cancer. She's already begun chemo and is attacking this with a wonderful spirit. It was nice to see her and Henry interact on Saturday. Keep her in your thoughts and prayers as they are very much appreciated.
Henry's torticollis seems to be doing well. He moves his head very well and seems to be getting stronger neck muscles every day. That's all...ta ta for now.
