On Tuesday, we had our first family outting... to the doctor. Everything check out great for Kaden except his weight. When we left the hospital, he was 6lbs 5oz. At the doctor, 2 days later, he was only 6lbs. Everything has been great with nursing. Everything
but the fact he falls asleep all.the.time! So the doctor (and some friends) told us some tricks to keep him awake. We went back the next day to check his weight again and he was back up to 6lbs 6oz! Yay... up 6oz in 24 hours! Mom and Dad were able to let out a sigh of relief.

Visiting from another blog! Congrats on your precious baby boy!!! Sounds like you're doing a great job as a Mama! My son used to fall asleep too. They like being warm and cuddly against Mama. I had to unswaddle my son and kinda pinch his shoulder or elbow (which sounds bad, but the Lactation Consultant gave me that little tidbit) Good luck with these next few weeks! They're usually the hardest but definitely some of the sweetest! :)
Yay for the weight gain! I know that is so stressful but it sounds like you are doing everything just right!
