We all have super powers - right? I don't mean to brag - but I think it's time to share my superpower with the world. I've known it for a long time but have kept it to myself...until today when I found out I may have passed on my superpower to my fourth born.
You see our little gift from God was born at 7lbs 9 oz and a week later he was down to 6lbs 13oz. From there - here are the stats
Birth - 7lbs 9 oz
1 week - 6 lbs 13 oz
2 weeks - 7lbs 15oz
4 weeks - 10 lbs. 3.5 oz
So, three weeks ago he was 6lbs 13 oz. Today he weighed in at a whopping 10lbs 3.5oz. That is alot of weight gaining. And that gets to my superpower - weight gaining. I can gain with the best of them and I think I've passed on my superpower to my little one through my breast milk. So grateful I've been able to nourish all of my little ones with my super powered breast milk - hoping to be able to keep it up with this one.
And as one of my dear friends said years ago when she had her first little guy - "Now begins the John the Baptist phase of my life - "He must increase and I must decrease" - Here's to a year of me decreasing and this little one increasing. I pray all of my offspring grow this year in amazing ways!
AND last night I slept 3 hours in a row - not only once but twice. I haven't slept 3 hours straight without interuption in probably over 2-3 months (those last few months of pregnancy were brutal). Last night I got to sleep 3 hours straight 2 times!!! I could possibly run a marathon today with all that sleep - whew! What a Christmas present! Seriously people - sleep is UNDERrated!
