The King is 6 weeks old today, and he’s clearly outgrown most of his "0-3 month" clothes. Anything with feet pulls down hard on his shoulders.

Yesterday I went through his dresser, pulled out most of the tiny pjs and onesies, and boxed them up. I also moved the 3-6 month sizes out of their boxes and into the dresser. It was both exciting, and sort of sad. Yes, there were items that he never even got to wear. I can’t believe he’s gotten big so fast!

We figured that 6 weeks was a good time to try our "roughly what does The King weigh?" experiment again. And we thought it would be 12 lbs. Maybe a little more.

Ha!

No, he’s all the way to 13.5 lbs!

AND, Mommy has lost 33 lbs since he was born. Only 17 left to get down to pre-preggo weight. (32 left to get down to my wedding weight, almost 3 years before he was born. I’m not sure whether I have that as a goal or am just observing it.)

In any event, Mommy is happy to be able to zip her first pair of pre-pregnancy pants, and to have lost 2/3 of her pregnancy weight. The only thing I miss is being able to wear pre-preggo shirts. That’s not going to happen for awhile — I went out and bought some XXLs and some 1Xs this week. Presumably old shirts will fit again when I’m done nursing.

And we’re happy that The King is so big and healthy.
