Say cheese :)

Hi! As you can see, Nicholas has started to interact more with us. He is now smiling a lot more and staying awake more. He continues drinking approximately 3oz of milk every 3 hours and sleeping 3-4 hours after his feedings. I have attached some pictures that his grandmother took after a well deserved bath. Enjoy!

Hola! Como pueden ver, Nicholas ha empezado a interactuar mas con nosotros. Se esta riendo mucho mas y se mantiene despierto un poco mas. Se mantiene tomando aproximadamente 3oz de leche cada 3 horas y durmiendo 3-4 horas despues de cada comida. Aqui tienen unas cuantas imagenes que le tomo su abuela despues de un bano. Que lo disfruten!

First doctor visit

Hi! Nick's first visit to the pediatrician was excellent. He has gained 2oz since discharged from the hospital (weight at discharge was 7lbs 6oz), has grown 1/2in (now at 20 1/2 inches). We have to return next week for another weight check. If all goes well, we don't return until one month. He is still feeding and sleeping well... not mom! Dad and grandma are doing ok.

Hola! La primera visita de Nick al pediatra fue excelente. Ha aumentado 2 onzas desde que llego a la casa (peso cuando llego a la casa era de 7libras 6 onzas), ha crecido 1/2 pulgada (ahora mide 20 1/2 pulgada). Tenemos que regresar al pediatra en una semana para chequear el peso otra vez. Si todo va bien en esa visita, regresamos en un mes. El continue comiendo y durmiendo bien... no su mama! Papi y abuela estan bien.

Got Milk?

Hello everyone! Nick has been home for 5 days now and it has been wonderful. He is sleeping better, drinking 2oz of formula and latching on approximately 1 hour to breastfeed. Yes! I finally got the REAL deal...breastmilk. Needless to say, mom and baby are very happy. He goes to the pediatrician later today for his first checkup... so, log on tomorrow with more updates.

Hola! Ya Nick ha estado en la casa por 5 dias y todo esta de maravilla. El esta durmiendo mejor y se esta tomando 2oz de formula y approximadamente 1 hora de pecho. Si! Finalmente me bajo la leche! Esta de mas decir que mami y bebe estan bien felices. Nicholas va al pediatra hoy en la tarde para su primera cita medica... asi es que, conectate manana para que te informes como nos fue.

Nicholas' Birth

Nicholas Andrew Barrett Acosta has finally arrived!!! He was born on July 22nd at 5:45pm. His weight was 7lbs 12 oz. He measured 20 inches. He was delivered through a vaginal delivery (no c-section!!!). I was admitted on Monday, July 21st for low amniotic fluid. 24 hrs later, Nick was born! So far, he is a quiet baby. He only cries when he is hungry. He is breastfeeding well and eating 2oz of formula along with that. He is sleeping 2-4hrs at times.

We will keep you up-to-date with his progress. Thank you for visiting our webpage.
