Henry weighed in at 12.06 lbs this morning and he's already grown 2 inches in length, up to 24! He's all full of love and Momma's milk. He he continues to have a somewhat random sleep pattern, although last night was fairly typical of the last week in that he slept from 10p until 1a, nursed, and then went right back to sleep from 1:30a to 5ish. However, he then figured he was up for the day and we had a major spit-up, two diaper changes and a round of major fussing that lasted until 7a. Daddy got up with him then and entertained him until he wanted to nurse again about 8:30a. We are going to soon start to implement a bedtime routine and hope that he will be sleeping longer by the end of his second month.
In other news, the pediatrician had a second look at what may be a birthmark on Henry's left arm. It appears to be what they call a portwine stain. It's what Gorbachev had on his head. The doc seemed unconcerned as Henry shows no other signs of trouble, be we'll be keeping a close eye on it and will likely go see a dermatologist when he's six or nine months. We hope it's a sign that he will be a left-handed fireballer in the major leagues when he grows up :)

so, is this what was thought to be the birth bruise?
His arm definitely was bruised when he arrived. The doc thinks that the birthmark and the bruise may have just been coincidental. Nathan and I are not convinced. We will just have to wait and see.
