Here are some updates and pictures of our little piece of perfection:
- He is now a whopping 6lbs 10oz.
- He sleeps in 2-3 hour intervals (Mama and Daddy do too!)
- Yesterday, his belly button cord fell off and I died on the inside a little (yes, I kept it.)
- His temperament is awesome.
- We have changed his diaper 83 times since we brought him home from the hospital.
- In terms of percentile: His weight is 11.6% (peanut) Head = 40% and length = 60%
- Friday, our family photographer, Nate, of Nathan Moreau Photography is coming to take some pictures of Toby in our home. We can't wait to get this little guy in photos.
- Toby is starting to focus on our faces and even seems to respond to our voices.
- I've officially lost 20 pounds of baby weight. 9 more pounds will bring me to my prebaby weight, 19 will bring me to my goal weight.
- I feel pretty good in terms of healing. I had five stitches (more on that later) and I am in less and less physical pain daily.
- Nursing is going okay. My milk is stubborn but it's all about supply and demand so I'm working with a great team of lactation consultants, drinking 3 cups of Mother's Milk Tea daily and taking Fenugreek vitamins 3 times per day.
- Did I mention how much I love my husband? He is the best partner I could ever ask for. I have never (EVER) had to get up in the middle of the night without him getting up with me. He caters to every little thing either of us need. Every time I look at Toby, and the amazing gift he is to this world, I fall in love with Aaron all over again.
Three generations of Molloy Men (three of my favorite men alive)
Meeting Auntie Q
Meeting Great Grandma
Meeting my best friend from high school (Auntie Steph)
That's all for now as Mama duties, again, call.
(I may officially change my name to Milkmaid Molloy, thoughts?)
We'll keep you posted on this delicious little creature. Oui?

Is Aaron wearing a dunce cap or has he joined the KKK? Look hard at the first picture. Must be the angle. Homer is right at home. Aaron wake up you have Toby in your arms.
The picture of Toby propped up in the chair is a killer. I think he is yelling "lets get on with the reading here! It's all about me now."
It's a dunce cap, actually.
And I almost DIED when I came downstairs from getting dressed and found them all sleeping! I was not pleased BUT I had to get a picture before I disciplined anyone ;)
I love the chair picture!! Was he honking?? Love you guys! What a fantastic family!! Aaron is definitely super! I would love to have him the next time around.
I can't wait until Sunday!!! <3<3
