Heavy "L"

Friday, March 12, 2010

Today, Luca is 8 weeks and one day. We had his two month check-up and shots. So Max and I decided to throw a little bet on how much the baby weighed and how tall he was.

Me: "My guess is 10 pounds 8 ounces and 23 inches long. The reason for my guess was because infants gain about one pound a month."

Max: "My guess is 11 pounds 4 ounces and 24 inches long."

Me: "Are you kidding me; he does not weigh that much."

Nurse: "He is 12 pounds 3 ounces."

Max and I in unison: "Holy sh**...oh we didn't mean to swear. "

Me: "But he was only 9 pounds 4 ounces less than a month ago."

Me to the nurse: "Do you think he will be obese when he is older?"

Nurse (in her mind): "Um...shut up you weird freak!"

Anyways, he is perfectly normal. He is 12 pounds 3 ounces and in the 67 percentile. He is 23 inches long and in the 57 percentile. His head 33 centimeters and in the 14 percentile. Luca also got his shots today. It was hard for Max and I to watch him cry after the nurse jabbed him with the needle. Just kidding...she did it very gently.
