I neglected to post pictures from my baby shower held at the Razzouk's home on January 9th. It was a lovely shower hosted by Elaine and her mom, Cindy. I know it is not normal to have a baby shower after the baby has arrived, but this was on the calendar for months!!
Atlanta got hit by a snow storm on that same night... we were snowed in for 4 days!!
This is a picture of our courtyard... the snow turned into ice overnight... schools were closed the entire week!
Here's a picture of Ryder during "snow week". Look at that big smile!!
More recently, we are slowly getting settled into our routine. Our appointment with the doctor yesterday went very well, and he is gaining weight faster than they expected. I am so happy to report that Ryder is now 6 lb 3 oz (2810 grams)-- he is such a champ!! Since Ryder is now "full term" at 37 weeks, we have a little less pressure on us with his feedings. We were able to move him to a new schedule that has us feeding him at 2 AM, 6, 9, 12 PM, 3, 6, 9:30. Last night was our first try at it and it went well. We took our first walk today with our friends Katie and baby Addie from down the street (Addie, Ryder's girlfriend, is one week older than Ryder). Here are a couple pictures:
The blue warm snuggly outfit is a 0-3 month size... poor little Ryder's arms barely made it into the arm holes and his feet barely made it to where knees should be. It was not that cold out, but better too warm than him catch cold. I think the fresh air was good for him.
Last weekend we were lucky enough to have our good friends from Germany, Jessica and Fabian, stop in Atlanta for a quick visit. Jessica and I interned together at Siemens in Nuernberg, Germany in 2003. We have stayed good friends ever since. Since we had limited time away from the house (I have to get back to pump so often), we did quick outings. The guys went to the Falcons game Saturday night while Jess, Allie and I went to Bocado (YUM! A must-dine in West Midtown). Sunday we went to Flip (burgers) and then planned to visit the World of Coke, but ran out of time. So, what else to do with one extra hour in Atlanta... get your nails done!
You can almost hear Eric saying, "No pictures!" Eric and Fabian getting pedicures.
