The Weaver Word: It's a BOY!

Charles William-- 8 lbs 6 oz and 20.5 inches

So I realize this post is coming REALLY late, but the Weaver household has had quite a bit going on since the birth of our baby boy! Charlie was born Sunday, July 10th...one week early which made his mamma love him even more if that is possible. :) I was really fortunate to have a relatively quick labor for a first time mom. Andy and I arrived at the hospital at 6am Sunday morning and Charlie was born by 1:51pm that afternoon.

The first few weeks were pretty rough as little Charlie had his days and nights mixed up. I was told he should be waking up every 3 hours to eat...well the little guy wouldn't even make it 20 minutes initially! Luckily, my mom and mother-in-law came to stay with us for the first few weeks to help out. I don't know how single moms do it! We needed all the help we could get. By the end of 6 weeks, Charlie was sleeping through the night. I put him down at 10pm and he wakes up between 5:30am and 6:30am. He did this for 2 weeks, anyway, until the night before last. He was waking up every hour and the poor little guy has his first cold. So needless to say, I haven't got much sleep the past few nights, but whatever I can do to help comfort my little man :)

I'm going to try my best to be sure the next post isn't 2 months from now. But it is amazing how time consuming a little one can be! In the meantime, here are a few more pics from his professional newborn shoot and also from his first few days....
