Day 56. 5/25/2014.

Weight: 7lbs. 10.1oz.
Length: 19.3"

Plan for the day: Eat, rest, grow... And no episodes so we can split this taco stand! Lol!

Happy Eight Weeks, Maverick!  Today is a special day!  Today was your actual due date and also the same exact due date you share with your big brother Graham!  It's quite remarkable that you both shared the same due date to the tee.... but you had your own plans and wanted to spend time with us that much sooner!  We are truly blessed with you!

Aunty Al and I had a nice little breakfast this morning - Mommy's favorite... toast, fresh fruit and Kyani!


While walking out of the elevator and to the car, I noticed Mommy has an extra skip in her step, Maverick, and it's all because of you!

I got to the hospital and saw your new set-up!


Your nurses love you so much and arrange your room so nicely!  Here's your new bottles - the Playtex Ventaire were highly recommended by a few of the RNs and also the RN/Speech (and Feeding) therapist!  She said babies, especially preemies, do really well with this system (and I actually used this same system with your big brother Graham!).

At eight weeks, you're over seven and a half pounds and you've grown 2.5" since birth!  What a big boy!

Mommy met Aunty Al for lunch at Nico's at Pier 38 for my favorite pesto chicken Caesar salad!


Then, we went to the National Memorial Cemetary of the Pacific, or "Punchbowl." Aunty Al's mom and dad are laid to rest there, and so are Mommy's Grandpa Moon and Grandpa Arquero.



It was pouring rain, but Aunty Al and I weathered that storm!



Because it is Memorial Day weekend, the boyscouts placed an American flag and lei on every single grave, all 38,000.  It was such a remarkable and profound view that took our breath away.



And when I came back to see you, you were fast asleep and looked like an angel.


And after dinner, Aunty Al and I had to make a run out to buy ice packs to transport all our frozen milk stash so we stopped by our favorite spot, Bubbies.  I think you could say we've become addicted lol!


Guess what?  Daddy's coming tomorrow!!!  I think this will be our best week yet!  XOXO!
