Motherhood Week 5


Kiernan had his first Christmas. We ended up going to a friend's house for dinner, but weather was definately against us. Fortunately the Suburban was quite capable of getting us through the drifted snow to the house that was only a half mile away. We got him a cute little Noah's ark coin bank for his present this year - not that he'll remember this Christmas anyway. We even had it personalized with "Nathan's Secret Stash" on it. It's the thought that counts though, right?

This week was the one-month checkup for Kiernan. After all the weight issues (see entries for weeks two and three) I have to admit I was a bit nervous about it. It all turned out fine though. Doc was surprised that he was already able to track things. Apparently they are not supposed to do that until 2 months of age. New stats are below:

Height: 22” (75th percentile)
Weight: 10 lbs 2 oz (75th percentile)
Head circumference: 15.25” (50th percentile)

As a side note, I am already down to my pre-pregnancy weight! Woo hoo! I haven't been trying to lose it either. Breastfeeding definately is a help in that area!
