BRENDON at 2 WEEKS OLD
2 week Stats:

8 lbs. 5 oz.
21.5 inches long
 
This boy is a mini Brock, if you ask me.
He has very long arms and legs, a wide bridge in his nose, the same creases in his forehead and nose, dimples, the same eyebrow growth pattern - all like his Daddy.
 ABOUT BRENDON at 2 WEEKS:

- last night he only woke up once to eat at 4:30am. WOW! 
Let's hope this becomes a nightly habit.
- RARELY cries. Which amazes me. Remember Cohen? He screamed for a solid 2 months, due to reflux problems. Maybe that's why I feel like this newborn couldn't be more perfect.
- Nurses every 3 hours during the day, usually twice at night, sometimes only once.
- When he is not eating during the day, he is very alert or sound asleep. Noise does not bother his at all, thanks to a 2 year old brother. Blessing!
- He is getting quicker at nursing. Burps well.
- HATES being cold.
- Loves when someone talks or sings to him.
- The sleeves of most his jammies are too short, long armed boy.
- He has only spit up maybe twice, amount the size of a nickel.
- LOVES hearing music of any kind.

HE IS PRECIOUS.
I was convinced I wouldn't get two easy babies in a row....
but I was wrong.
Only two weeks has passed, but they couldn't be more perfect.
Let's keep it up Buddy.
We love EVERYTHING about you.
Even when you fill your pants right after they have been changed.


QUICK UPDATE ON THE MAMA:
{for those that are wondering}

I'm BEYOND sick of sitting and taking it easy.
This c-section recovery has been cake, I hate to admit.
Pain....what pain?
There has been stiffness, tight muscles, mild soreness, but not pain.
With two weeks down, I feel ready to RUN. Literally.
Yes, I am still trying to take it easy {Mom & Dad} but I think my buns are bruised from sitting so much. Once again - blessing.
2 weeks of recovery down, 4 to go.
OH BOY.
