Weston turned one week old on Valentine's Day! Here is a picture of him wearing an adorable valentines outfit that he got from our neighbors. Quite the little lover :)
At one week old Weston is still below his birth weight, which is normal. He is 5 lbs, 11 ozs. We are adjusting to life with a little baby in it. He is a blessing and we are so happy that he is a very healthy little boy even though he came 4.5 weeks early!
We have been doing a lot of "skin-to-skin" since with him. Since he was born premature they say it is really good for them. It's where you have them lay on your chest so that, as the name implies, your skin is touching, and they can hear your heartbeat. It's great for bonding and for keeping the little baby comfortable since it reminds them of being in the womb. After over an hour of him laying on me I stood up and looked in the mirror and saw the imprint of his little feet still on my tummy - we thought it was super cute.
