Ezra is 2 weeks old today.
We had a check up with his pediatrician. They took blood from his heel for a disease test. Poor little guy, he didn't like that at all. But I got to hold him while they did it and that made me feel better. Maybe it made him feel a little better, too.
The doctor said remarked how some babies are really generic-looking but that he could tell Ezra is my son just by looking at him. Which I thought was cool. He also said that Ezra has really big hands for a newborn. He didn't need to tell me that, though, I already knew! They also measured and weighed him, of course... He was 19.5 inches long when he was born. Today, he was 21.25 inches long! Maybe he will end up being tall like his daddy after all...
Everything is going well with our little family. I am excited to only have a few more weeks of school left. I can't believe how quickly this semester has gone by. I'm not taking any classes this Summer so I will start up again this Fall and I am looking forward to that.
[ Okay, I couldn't resist putting this picture on here. SO adorable, if I may say so myself. ]
Being a parent is definitely as hard as everybody says it is. I can't believe how much my life has changed! I knew it was going to change, but I could have never been prepared for such a change as this. It is so good though. I miss Ezra when other people are watching him, or even when he is just sleeping, and especially when I'm at school. I keep thinking: "I wish Ezra had a cell phone so I could text him during class." Ha ha maybe when he's older. I do love being his mom, though.

cute post! oh, I just love it. That picture of him definitely makes him look unique are far as babies go. I actually don't think most babies are generic, but then again, I don't see hundreds of them :) love you!
Alyssa, I can't stop talking about how cute he is and how great of a mom you are. You make me nervous, because you make being a mom look so easy.
