Happy Due Date!

6 1/2 weeks later... we finally reached his original estimated due date. More or less the whole "adjusted age" deal is based off his gestational age and estimated due date when considering milestones such as holding his head up, crawling, walking, etc. This way he's not considered abnormal if he's not reaching these by his "calendar" age- since he still had to develop as much as a baby still in the womb. So if you consider the adjusted age vs. his calendar age, he's pretty far ahead of the curve- definitely acts older than a newborn, but maybe not as "mature" as a full-term 6 week old. Either way, he's got the eating thing down, we've been doing tummy time and other mild-stimulating activities during his wakeful periods now, and seeing how much stronger and alert he is everyday.

I think we will be packing up his preemie clothes this week- a couple more outfits have been tossed in the "does not fit" pile, hard to believe how quickly it all happens! Not to mention this weather is confusing me when trying to make sure we have outfits that fit & are appropriate..

I will work on officially getting our birth announcements out this week- of course if you are reading this blog you obviously know he's here and see the latest & greatest photos- but it's still the old-fashioned thing I have to do! Thanks for all your patience & understanding in general- nothing about the past month or two is normal or planned :)

Happy Sunday everyone!
