Weighing In

Asher had his first doctor appointment today and was given a big thumbs up. He promptly peed right on the doctor, just as his brother had on his first visit. It seems that its like a pre-payback for all the pokes and prods he will have over the next few years.

At birth Asher was 8.8lbs and 20.75 inches long. Leaving the hospital he left right at 8.0lbs. He didn't lose too much, they only begin to worry if they lose more than 10%. Today, six days after his birthday he weighed in at 8.9lbs and is 21inches long. This means he has gained his birth weight plus already, which they allow up to 2 weeks for that to happen. I am not shocked since he loves to eat!

He let me sleep four hours straight last night only waking up at 4am, and 820am. What a sweetie right? :) It seems that my body is already learning that 4 hours is a lot of sleep!
