JJ and I are amazed by how much Anthony has changed and grown since birth. At his 2 week check up he gained 1lb and 1inch respectively putting him at 8lbs 6.5oz and 21.25inches with his head measuring 14inches. It has taken him quite some time to learn his days from his nights, but finally seems to be falling into a nice sleeping pattern, though it took him a good 8 weeks to learn this. He loves taking baths and showers, and is a fantastic eater, averaging 30oz per day (4-5oz at a time).
I thoroughly enjoyed my 6 weeks of Maternity Leave (FMLA) but returned to work on March 6th. It was really tough to leave Anthony for 24hours straight, and he seemed to be having a hard time adjusting to the schedule once he was home with Daddy. He enjoyed his days with MomMom and Auntie Katryna though. Recently I was presented with another job opportunity, that would allow me to be home every morning and every evening working Monday through Friday. After a lot of consideration, I put my two weeks notice into Lake Sumter and accepted the new position. I will be staying on the ambulance part-time, picking up shifts whenever I can. JJ and I look forward to getting Anthony into a nightly routine and hopefully teaching Anthony to sleep through the night. He has a bit of a nighttime routine now, but is still waking up every 3-4.5 hours to eat. Don't get me wrong we are thankful for the full hours of sleep!
