2 weeks!
Owen is 2 weeks old today!
Me - Continuing to heal very well. BFing still has its ups and downs, but I'm feeling good about it overall.
Steve - Goes back to work tomorrow. I'm really bummed about this, but I know that Steve hates being away from work for so long. He told me last night that he feels so useless because he can't feed Owen when he's hungry, but I assured him that it's been very important having him around. He's out getting Owen's birth certificate right now.
Owen - Such a cute little man! His evening fussiness has definitely increased, and he seems to cluster feed a lot. He'll go 3 hours without eating, and then he'll eat every hour for the next 3 hours, usually for only about 15 minutes. We don't put him down to sleep at night until we go to bed ourselves, at around 11 or 12, and he'll sleep until usually 5am. Despite the long stretch, it's still really difficult for me to get up and feed him. After feeding him, he'll go back down until 9 or 10. His umbilical cord stump fell off yesterday, at 13 days.

I am impressed that he will sleep for so long! Jacob has started giving us one 4 hour stretch between feedings every night. So along with the feeding and having to keep him upright for 20-30 min after, I have been getting 3 hours in a row and it is fabulous! :)
