My Son: Nathan Alexander Berliner
I’d like to introduce you to my new son (my “first” son), born just one month ago. Here he was as a newborn:
Yeah. He’s super cute. And, here he is at one month of age:
Yeah. Still super cute. We call him “Nate”, unless he’s been really bad. Then we call him “Nathan Alexander”. He hasn’t been bad yet.
He’s doing very well. His health is excellent, breastfeeding well, and plumping up nicely.
Born at 6lb 15oz, he dropped to 6lb 8oz in the hospital and checked out on day 3 at 6lb 9oz. At our first pediatrician appointment on day 6 he was back up to 7lb 1oz and his next appointment (2.5 weeks old), he tipped the scales at 9lb 3oz. At 1 month he was a whopping 10lb 5oz. Just like his old man, the boy likes to eat!
Nate never sleeps more than 3 hours at a time, and usually only 2 hours, which means that Mom and Dad (especially Mom the self-described “Human Milk Wagon”) have not gotten our usual dose of sleep. And, at my advanced age, I do feel it.
Still, Nate is certainly a blessing and we’re all so happy to have him in our lives. I have dozens of articles sketched out to share with you. Now, if I can just find the time to write them up.
Please stay tuned and add some comments along the way. I’d love to hear your thoughts.
Cheers,
-Brian
