Day 34:
First allow me to say "Thank You", Conor... Not only were you merciful last night, but you actually allowed Mommy and me to sleep a consecutive 4 hours! Maybe the most rest, in a continuous string, I've personally had in two weeks... Whew!!
Second; you had an appointment with your Pediatrician this morning to check you for both length and weight... And you're measuring in at 17 1/4 inches and weighing in at whopping 5.03 lb.!! No longer a "Flyweight" but now a "Super Flyweight"! As far as infants go anyway. Word on the street is, these big 'ole 10 lb. "Heavyweight" infants can be lazy out of the womb. If that's the case, you've got a leg up, Son. Because you've been fighting and fighting and working and working since taking your first breath. And you get stronger every day. Not that I'm biassed or anything...
Otherwise it's been a pretty stock day. Two ounces of food every three hours, loads of dirty diapers, and the occasional smile between naps. Conor the Lion Heart is doing what's necessary to someday be a heavyweight like Daddy- as an adult anyhow. Only keep this in mind, Conor. You'll never be able to take your old man... I promise you that!
I love you, Son. My Little Lion Heart. Conor An Chroí Lion...
-Dad
