2 Week Stats

We went to the doctor for Noah today. He weighs 9 pounds, 6 ounces and is in the 75th percentile for weight. The nurse measured him at 21.75 inches, but they said when he was born he was 22 inches long. Regardless, that's the 95th percentile for height. His head circumference was 16 and some, which was the 60th percentile. According to my mom, that means that he's not a Bogart because Bogarts have large heads. For those of you who don't know, Noah and I both required forceps at delivery because Bogarts, my mom's maiden name, traditionally have large heads. I think that he is a Bogart, but he's only one fourth of a Bogart so he's just not AS big of a Bogart as I was. :)
At the doctor today they also took of what was left of Noah's umbilical cord, so he's officially an infant rather than a newborn. It's a very good thing, but a sad little milestone for his emotional Mom! They also poked his heel so they could do the newborn screening for the state of Texas, which was very hard on Mom and Noah, who skipped a meal so he could sleep because he was so upset from getting his heel pricked.
I'll take some official two week pictures tomorrow, as that's his official two week birthday and post them next week.
Otherwise, things are still going very well. Noah is eating like a champ and fights sleep already (much like his mom), he smiles all the time but not in response to anything specific (that's not until 2 months) and I still love being a Mom. I can't even think about leaving him with someone else so if I get a job in Abilene, you're going to have to pray a lot for me!
