2 weeks old

Asher turned 2 weeks old this past Friday. I can't believe he's 2 weeks old already! Technically he's 2 weeks and 3 days old today.
Friday was a rough day with them. Brooke was extra cranky and demanding and Asher only wanted to be held and didn't sleep well. William worked in Illinois that day so he had to leave early which meant I didn't get a shower that morning. Trying to take a shower with 2 cranky children is something I don't want to do again :-)
We celebrated his due date (Oct 22) by going to the pumpkin patch. Asher slept in the moby wrap the whole time while Brooke, William and I walked around looking for the perfect pumpkins for them. Brooke didn't like that they were dirty, but loved finding a bug on one of the pumpkins. Brooke had a blast at the pumpkin patch. She's excited to get to ride the horse next year. Hopefully we'll get to pick apples next year too. Brooke had another rough day. That evening we went over to William's parents' house to visit...mostly so his dad could see Asher again. We were there for about 3 hours and his dad held him for at least 2 of those hours!
On a positive note Brooke has been sleeping great at night lately.
Sunday was full of chores and football. Brooke was a handful again. She told William several times that day that she didn't feel well. She has a top molar cutting through the gums. Hopefully that's all that's bothering her. Tylenol seems o be helping. Asher spent most of the day napping on William. He did take a nap in the moby wrap while I vacuumed and put 4 loads of laundry away (yes I've been procrastinating on putting laundry away...taking a nap when Brooke does always sounds better than chores :-) )
Today (Monday) started early. Asher didn't sleep well last night. William was able to get him to sleep with him for a couple of hours. This morning we had his 2 week check up. He weighs 8 lbs 10 oz. That's 3 ozs over his birth weight, 1 lb over his weight when we left the hospital 15 days ago, and 13 ozs over his weight 2 weeks ago. After that we went to WIC to add Asher. Now we're home and it's about time for naps. After naps we'll go to Kroger and put gas in the van.
