Weigh In

For the record, stats at birth:

Weight:  7lbs, 12.5oz (3540g) (Between 25th-50th percentile)
Length:  20.5 in (Between 75th-90th percentile)
Head circumference:  34 cm (between 10th and 25th percentile)
Weight to length percentile is 3rd-5th

Weight upon leaving hospital: 7lbs, 2oz (3230g), loss of about 9%, with 10% being within normal range

Weight on July 8: 7lbs, 8.5oz, recommended gain is 0.5oz per day, so he's gained 6.5oz in 12 days

And this can be added to the records:  Hans slept nearly six hours last night, nursed and returned to sleep for another 2 hours, nursed again and slept for almost another 2 hours before Freddie climbed into bed for cuddles

And yet another note for the records:  I dressed two children this morning, changed a diaper while insisting the other use the potty, nursed, packed a diaper bag for two kids, gathered snacks and left the house.  And I remained calm during this hour long feat.  We manged a trip to the doctor's office, the library, the post office and the playground.

Holy sh*t! Cannot believe you got that much accomplished! I would have needed to rest for a week after that much when Louie was tiny!
