Hard to believe but it has been two weeks already. We went in to the birth center for our two-week checkup to make sure Leslie and Carter are still doing well. The big surprise (and good news) is that Carter has packed on a whopping 1 pound 8 ounces making him 10 pounds 4 ounces. The main concern for newborns is that they return to birth weight by two weeks... so he's cleared that mark with flying colors. Leslie got two thumbs up as well and surprised the staff by wearing pre-pregnancy jeans--and needing a belt. She's within 7 pounds of pre-pregnancy which means she really was all baby :-)
Everyone was pleased with how well we've settled in to parenthood and glad that it is going well for us. The same goes for us, we feel like we've found our calling. We know what we want to be when we grow up: parents!
Yesterday we were also glad to be able to go out to dinner with friends, and introduce Carter to Elmo's Diner (a Durham staple). He was very happy to meet everyone and had a good time checking out all the sights and sounds of the big world. More pictures will be posted soon, and we continue to enjoy all our new experiences.
