4 week appointment

We missed our two week post-partum update with the midwives due to a miscommunication and yesterday we finally had our four week appointment. Turns out our little man has gained three pounds in the past month and now weighs in at a hefty 10lbs, 8 oz. The say that 15-30 oz in the first month is good and he's at 48. Thats my boy!

That's 7 oz more than I weighed at birth.

Yep, I was 10 lbs 1 oz. I apologize to my Mom every birthday because they didn't have half the stuff they did back then as they do now. I think. Regardless, I still apologize for being so big.

Wow, Mike, that's big! But your mama still loves you!

Yup, 3.5 oz/week is the minimum, 7oz/week is great and every now and again those 1 lb weeks just make the cheeks get chubby.

Friends just adopted a newborn baby from FLorida. Oh my goodness! That little black soft hair . . . Not quite as edible as Jericho, but pretty close!
