Week 6

We had Cam's 6-week checkup today. He's growing so fast! He now weighs 11 pounds 2 ounces, which means that he gained almost 3 pounds this past month.

And his stats...woo baby! He's measuring in the 75th percentile for length, the 85th percentile for weight, and get this...the 90th percentile for head size! The pedi saw those numbers on the computer screen and immediately said, "okay, so which one of you has a big head?" I raised my hand; I know all-too-well that that trait comes from my side of the family! ;)

He also got 2 vaccine shots today, which rendered him a pretty unhappy camper. It's so hard to watch him dissolve from a happy little man to a screaming, red-faced mess. :( He's napping at the moment though, so hopefully he'll feel a little better when he wakes up. Hopefully!

I had my 6-week checkup yesterday, and I'm happy to report that I'm doing well too. I've been cleared to exercise now, my doc says that I can do pretty much anything I'm comfortable with. Yippee! I have some work to do on my abs, as there's been some separation of the muscles. It's all totally normal and par for the course, but it's pretty weird to feel a big ol' divot where there wasn't one before! I also got my H1N1 shot (as did Chris), so hopefully this will be a healthy winter in our household. Again, hopefully!
