two weeks old

Well Nate's now two weeks old and doing good.  Getting a little more fussy and wanting to eat a LOT more.  We were able to see a lactation specialist this week and it may not be easy for us to breastfeed.  Even though he's done it twice now - its not enough.  One - he's not a good "sucker" and I'm not getting enough milk for him. There are a few things we are going to talk to my doctor about so we'll see.  Wish us luck!  Still pumping to get what he can - but its not enough.

Nate's starting to stay awake a little more too.  Which is fun - and his eyes are starting to change color too. Still blue just not as dark - they were almost navy blue before!  Very pretty - but they are getting a little ligher.  Can't wait to see what color they end up - probably a blue or green with the colors in the family.

We also had our first restaurant dinner last night and our first dinner at friends is tonight!  Lets hope he's a good boy for us!

Better run - trying to get a few things done before we leave tonight.  Sorry we are so busy have a hard time updating every day.  Emailed out some pictures Kathy took last week - very cute.  Craig says it is very difficult to post to this page - but one of these days we'll probably get more posted to the www.craigbackus.com website.
