Today is a very good day.

I even got a shot (not my favorite thing in the world) and today has to rate as a very good day. Why exactly?

1) Will had several wet diapers over night and a couple of good stools. I never thought I would be so excited about poop. The reason for our excitement was that we were beginning to get worried about him. Pretty soon after we got home, he wasn't feeding well and had not had a wet diaper. To us he seemed to be getting dehydrated, so we took him to the doctor on Tuesday who recommended supplementing for the time being with a little formula. Between that and a drop in with the lactation consultant on Wednesday he started feeding more and looking better. Hence the excitment over the diapers.

2) Today Will had his 5 day doctors appointment and things are looking good. He's back up to 7 lbs 7 oz (gained 6 oz in 2 days). Overall he is healthy and we are both happy about that.

3) Catherine's Mom (and Will's Nana) is on her way to Seattle. She will be arriving in the early evening and we all can't wait to see her.

Here are a few videos from the last couple of days. The first is of Will asleep in the swing. It's nice when we have a content baby.

I think it's best to say that Will is an impatient eater. He likes to eat quickly and he seems quite prone to the hiccups. Here is a good example.
