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!

Check out this belly:

Veritable Dutch Wonderland

By
Mother's Day weekend, we planned a little trip out of NYC. We headed to Lancaster, PA - close enough for a night away, but far enough away to feel very different than NYC. The weekend was a lot of fun (and honestly a lot of work). All in all, the boys did well. Highlights below: Dutch Wonderland Lancaster is home to several tourist things. We picked one: Dutch Wonderland family amusement park. My cynical self really doubted that we'd enjoy this experience. I was worried that it would be cheesy. But I was wrong. Well yes, it was kind of cheesy because it was a family amusement park. But it was so fun. The place was very geared to families with young children. The rides are categorized by height so it's easy to know what rides your kids can ride. Jack tried several rides: big trucks, bulldozers, leaping frogs, the monorail. He even drove a car! He had a really good time. Spence was a good sport as there wasn't much for him to do. Maybe next year. Justin felt right ...
