2 Weeks

I am not sure if I will be posting pictures of him every single week (obviously I will be taking them every week, because he is PERFECT and everything, and that must be documented), but for now I figure I will share his two week picture! I tried to get a good picture of him yesterday, but it didn't go well due to him always sleeping. I then snapped this one when I finished feeding him at four in the morning. He has the sweetest little face I have ever seen. Here is another one from an entire minute later which shows him in deep thought. About two minutes after that he spit up on me. Guess we know what he was thinking about... Henry also got to meet his Great-Nana yesterday. It was a good day!
In a more detailed two week update, we went to the pediatrician for his two week check up yesterday. He weighed in at a mighty 5lb 11oz, and was 19 inches long. I was so excited to hear he is growing so well since the beast feeding has been a real challenge. Good to know it is paying off! His head is 14 inches around, placing him in the 25% of all 2 week olds for head circumference. He was in the 5% for body length, and less than 5% for weight. They don't take into account that he was three weeks early, so really he is doing great. Also, he seems to have a giant brain. I just can't believe that he is already two weeks old!

  1. I know it was a typo but I laughed really hard at "beast feeding..." Like little Henry is such a beast... I'm not kidding. I'm kind of embarrassed at how hard I'm laughing.

  4. Breast feeding WILL get easier - and even more rewarding, so hang in there. Isn't it amazing to see a baby grow?

  5. Love the picture with his little hand up by his chin. It looks like he is thinking very seriously about something.

    He is oh so cute!

  7. Well Congratulations on your beautiful little boy! Henry is so precious! I made it through all your post and I just loved reading your story. My husband and I are trying to get pg and it hasn't been easy. We are only on cycle 7 but the longer it takes the tougher it gets. Your story gives me hope that it will happen, somehow it will happen.
