I had my six week post partum visit yesterday, and I am now cleared to resume working out and performing my marital duties. ;) I also discussed with the midwife a plan for slowly ramping down my milk production, and slowly weaning Z onto formula without upsetting his digestion. I hope to be done with the pumping by the end of the month. Freedom!

We weighed Z yesterday, and he's up to 9 lbs, 11 oz! This was with his clothes and diaper on, so that's probably not entirely accurate, but wow, he's getting big. The teeny shirts we took home from the hospital don't fit him any more.

The midwife said she thought his eyes might stay blue, rather than darken to brown. I thought all Caucasian newborns' eyes were blue, but she said usually they're a darker, muddier color than Z's bright, clear blue eyes. Aaron and I are now both wondering who in our family trees might have had blue eyes...
