Its been quite a while since I posted!

I had a baby boy on November 8th, Liam Alrik, 8 pounds 15 ounces, 21.5 inches long. He was 3 weeks old on wednesday. He's a good sleeper for me, once he falls asleep. It probably helps that he sleeps next to me in bed. Right now he's in the swing. He's wearing a cloth prefold diaper, held on with a snappi, and covered by a pair of wool longies. And one of those t-shirts that wraps around and snaps on both sides of him. Here, I'll add a picture :)

Its really amazing how quickly he's been gaining weight. He was born on a Wednesday night, and we left on Friday morning. When we left, his "check out" weight was 8 pounds 11 ounces. A week later he weighed 9 pounds 13 ounces at his first doctors appointment. And 3 days after that, at our WIC appointment, he weighed in at 10 pounds 11 ounces, although that last one was with all his clothes on.

I guess I'm the equivalent of a jersey cow... high milkfat content!

Our next appointment is on December 8th, and I can't wait to find out how much he's gained.
