6 weeks

Jonah is six weeks old today! We saw the doctor last week and he gained 3 pounds from his birth weight. Jonah was 8.6 pounds and 20 1/4 inches! Yea! He's a little bit of an unattractive mess right now- lots of acne and cradle cap- so the pictures are not coming out good- but he's still so cute. I am going to attempt to bring him to my job/school today. It's cold but we've put it off for two days so hopefully it will work out. I will take a cab which I never do, but now it is not just about me! I would have walked had it been a little warmer, but oh well. Thursday is Christmas at the Markens

Mom and Dad left yesterday after spending 3 weeks in the city with us. We'll miss them!

One month old

Jonah is one month old tomorrow! I can't believe that he has been with me for a month. I know that time is going to fly by, but wow! He is doing great- eating like a horse, growing into his clothing and even sometimes sleeping for four hours at a time! My friend Susan threw him a baby shower last weekend and it was really nice. We got lots of clothing and many people from my job got to meet him. I actually got the thank you notes done and now am moving on to the birth announcements. As for me, I feel so happy with him but am putting a lot of pressure on myself to get so many things done before I go back to work. I really need to "dig" out from under my stuff here in the apartment so that we can both live comfortably. This is really hard for me so I think I will hire an organizer to help me.
