Oliver is two weeks old or 37 weeks old, depending on how you're counting. Technically he's "full term" now! He's been consistently gaining weight (5 lbs., 6oz!) and he's just started to wake up more often and be more alert. Today is the first time that I've seen his eyes open for more than a few minutes. It was so fun to watch him follow my face from side to side and stretch his neck to look around (not that he can really see very much yet, but he's noticing something!). The nurses have commented several times on how calm he seems to be all the time, so I've really been enjoying the few times he gets some volume when he cries.
He really woke up after he got his bath yesterday. My mother and I got to be there and help - he didn't mind the bath but he hated being dried off!
As for me, I've been doing well and am still trying to rest and heal. I've been cutting back on the pain meds and I was discouraged at first at how sore I still am, but I'm so thankful for several friends here who keep encouraging me to be patient and keep resting.
