Our Not-So-Little Man

Tom has always joked that, in nursing our babies, I don't feed them milk, but rather cocaine butter. Cocaine because they all LOVE to nurse, and butter because they have no problem gaining weight.

Well, we went to the doctor today for Declan's 2 week appointment. Now he's actually 17 days old, but first I'll remind you of where he began: 7 lbs. 14 oz. and 21 inches long.









As of today, he's 9 lbs. 13 oz. and 21.75 inches long. If you consider that all babies lose weight after they're born, especially nursed babies, then he's gained over 2 lbs. in 2 weeks!!!! What a chunkers!!!

What a little chunker is right. That is impressive for only 2 weeks!! Declan is now just barely bigger than what Ryan was AT BIRTH!! And of course that's the time the epidural doesn't take at all!!

Craig and I joke that I produce negative 2%, so they actually lose fat and give it back to me:) I never lose weight while nursing and my babies barely gain.

WOW! That is awesome. He is a little chunker, a really cute littel chunker. He will be breaking hearts when he gets older, which will be sooner than you think because the time just flies by, doesn't it?

Oh... I just want to squish those cute cheeks of his.

Have a great day!

I love chubby babies! What a chunker, indeed!

Oh, and the pooh on the floor--I'd need a while to calm down to. Hopefully there haven't been any more incidents!
