One Week

Charlie is a week old today. I can't believe how fast it has gone by.

We went for his week check up yesterday at our new pediatrician. He is a really great doctor who got his undergrad at UGA and his medical degree at Ohio State. So both Marc and I have faith in what he was taught!

Charlie has grown 2 inches since birth, but his head has shrunk just a bit. (or the measurement at one time wasn't correct.) He was 7 pounds, 13 ounces when he was born, lost 7 ounces in the hospital, and gained two back since we came home.

He has had good nights - sleeping 4 hours or so in a row - and off nights, where he tosses and kicks and wakes himself up. I am lucky that Mama has been with us around the clock since day 2 of Charlie so if I need to sleep, she can handle everything and anything.
