2- 3 weeks old
4 weeks
tears for two or three
If I learn nothing else in the next 4 months, I will learn how to stay calm and not cry when one or both boys are crying.
Or maybe I’ll just go insane…
this is so hard.
one month weights
Logan was born 6 lbs 9 oz. All babies loose weight in the first few days and then gain it back again. At his one week visit he was 6 lbs 11 oz. At two weeks he was 7 lbs 5 oz and today, a few days after 4 weeks, he is 8 lbs 9 [...]
