Growing Boy

By
Last Friday, we had a lactation consultant come in. I was worried about a couple of things:
1. Is Jack getting enough to eat through breastfeeding?
2. Is there anything I can do to help him feed more efficiently and potentially reduce gas?
3. A gut check on some of the things that we have experienced in the first 3 weeks.

After starting with a contentious Q&A (thanks Justin), the consultant took an initial weight. Jack hadn't been weighed since day 5. We knew that he'd gained weight, but weren't sure how much.

Let's just say that I don't have a supply issue. Jack weighed 10 lbs 4 oz. At a normal weight gain, he should have weighed 9 lbs 12 oz. So, we have a big boy. :)

If nothing else, I can cross off one of my concerns!

    Has he outgrown the tiny onesies? What a serious face! Still a beautiful baby.

School Projects

By
Jack has a school project due this Friday. The project is to visit a specific historic landmark in the city and then put together a write-up about the visit and place. Jack's location is Hamilton Grange which was the country home of Alexander Hamilton. We visited a few weeks ago (yep, we've have the assignment this long). Finally, Jack started putting together the project today. OMG, it was like watching me from 30 years ago. There was denial and defensiveness, then came tears and finally he produced really good work. If this is what the next 15 years are going to be like, we are in trouble. Also - sorry Mom, I know I tortured you with this experience many many times.
