Overheard

Dad: Can we pierce her ears yet?

Mom: (stony silence)

Mom: No.

Not average, just median?

I had my two week checkup today.

Weight: 8 lbs 2 oz = 50th percentile
Lenght: 29 1/4 in = 50th percentile
Head circumference: 14 1/18 in = 50th percentile

The nurse said I was perfectly proportioned. Then she asked Mom if she understood what "percentile" meant. Former-math-teacher-Mom refrained from giving her the look of death.

Oh, and my belly button thingy fell off today.

Uncle Fred!

Well, the venerable Uncle Fred has come down for a visit from New Haven. Thank god he did not read to me from his law journals.

My First Bath

Daddy gave my my first bath today...ok, he just wiped me down with a wet towel. I cried.

I've arrived!

Phew! I'm here and I'm fabulous! Dad guessed I would be 7 and a half pounds and he was close! 7 lbs, 6 oz, 19.5 inches...and fantastic Apgar scores if I don't say so myself. Not that I am for the over testing of youth or anything.

It's time!

FINALLY! Dad's birthday is over...it's my turn now!

Ooops, I'm not ready yet

Today was my due date! Oh well, Mom, maybe tomorrow...
