The Stats (2 1/2 Weeks)

We had an appointment with the pediatrician on Tuesday and here are the stats for our Lucas...

Height      57th percentile (still at 21 inches)
Weight     76th percentile (a whopping 9lb 10.6oz....and Zach thought he wasn't getting enough to eat!)
Head        86th percentile (the Krieg boys still have us beat!)

The pediatrician said he looked great and we are very grateful he is so healthy.

With the family gone and Zach at work, it is now just the two of us.  It is definitely a little strange to not go to work every day and I vowed to not check my work email (which I haven't....).  I made a list (a very short one) of a few things I would like to accomplish during maternity leave...

1.  Go on at least 2 walks a day
2.  Make curtains for the nursery
3.  Clean out and organize the mud room
4.  Baby announcements

We have been doing quite well on #1 but the rest are still yet to come.  We anxiously await Zach's arrival each day so he can fill us in on his daily news.  Otherwise we have been busy walking at the mall (it is too darn hot to take Lucas out during the day), chatting with neighbors and just simply getting to know each other...oh, and the Olympics are fun to watch too.  Tomorrow we start Baby and Momma Yoga classes.  He is sleeping in 3 hour stretches at night....last night he even slept a 4 hour stretch!  We are slowly getting used to all the crying and Lucas is slowly getting used to us figuring out what he needs or wants.

I think he looks like his dad....

  1. For the record, Andy and I totally see Megan reflected in Lucas (sorry Zach)! The differences with big city and small town shouldn't surprise me but to think of the mall and baby yoga classes...wow! That sounds lovely.
