Breastfeeding, Burping, and Bottom Wiping--Not Blogging

So my promised update is a little late--but I have an exceedingly good excuse.

What you're heard is true--newborn babes are a lot of work. But it doesn't seem that way until you realize you haven't checked your email in days and days--and not for lack of trying. The days just kind of float together right now.

But as far as Billy goes, even his poop is gorgeous and adorable.

Billy had his follow-up appointment at the hospital today, which is a major outing for us since our hospital is in Tupelo, an hour away. We totally missed the scheduled appointment and had to call for a later time. Billy peed on the nurse giving him the once-over, but his weight gain is on-target and his muscle tone and agility are off the charts (of course!).

Afterward, we stopped by the Elvis Presley birthplace for a quick picnic and visit--the house is literally the size of your kitchen, for those of you who haven't been there. Billy slept through most of it, but his daddy was proud.

Enough of the gab--you want to see what this baby looks like!
His nose, lips, chin--basically, his whole face--are Ace.



But his feet and pooping ability are totally me.



So after Billy peed on the nurse and all over his going out day outfit, I had to resort to my spare--a blue polo shirt onesie, inadvertently making father and son twins for the day. Should be cheesy, I just thought it was fun.

Finally! You can't leave your readers hanging for days on end. I look forward to new posts as much as I like to watch Eastenders. Billy looks way too mature to be a newborn. Where's the cone-shaped head? He's got some big hands...
