Happy Due Date Day, Henry!

Today is my due date, and I feel lucky - like I got an extra month to play with Henry :)
so I thought I'd do a little Henry update.

He weighs 7 pounds 12 ounces. Up from 6 pounds 9 ounces just two weeks ago! He eats a lot (obviously). He still sleeps quite a bit, but he has about an hour in the morning and an hour in the evening when he is wide awake. And he's sleeping a lot at night too, thankfully. For a few days this week he was having a hard time going back to sleep, but now he's back to his schedule of waking every 3-4 hours and going right back to sleep after I nurse/change him. He honestly never fusses. The only thing that makes him mad is being naked - I've never known a baby who hates being naked so much! And it's not about being cold, he just doesn't like not having clothes on (Davis is hoping that this will spare us from the naked-toddler stage, but we'll see!)

He's a happy, laid back baby. We're always passing him around and carrying him around like a favorite blankie - snuggling him, napping with him, rubbing his soft little head. He's definitely not letting all the attention get to his head, he's cool.

He rolls over! Seriously, he's three weeks old, and every time you put him on his tummy, he flips himself onto his back. He can also lift his whole upper torso when he's on his tummy - Sophia calls it "baby push ups." That's pretty crazy to me, for a baby who's not even four weeks old!

Yesterday, he had his newborn hearing screen. In Arkansas, all newborns born in hospitals have a hearing screen done before they are discharged. Since Henry wasn't born in a hospital, and therefore didn't have this screening, we decided to have it done at Arkansas Children's Hospital. Unfortunately, he didn't pass. BUT last week he had that nasty cold that the girls brought home, and this morning he had lots of fluid in his ears. So, we'll repeat the test in six weeks - hopefully by then the fluid in his ears will be gone, and he'll pass.

*Update*
I took Henry to the pediatrician Friday, just to make sure the fluid wasn't infected, and it's not. So we can just wait for it to drain and then have his hearing retested. The pediatrician was also confident that it would, and that Henry's hearing would be fine. I'm not at all worried.
