Bye Bye Bernaths

Today we went out to breakfast with Uncle Jimmy, Aunt Holly, and Emily before they left to go back home. Ciaran slept through the whole thing.

Later today the home health nurse came to visit to make sure Ciaran and mom were doing ok. They are! Ciaran now weighs 6 pounds, 11 oz. That is up from the 6 pounds, 1 oz he was when he left the hospital. She said babies usually gain about an oz a day and it can take up to two weeks to pass their birth weight. He passed it in 5 days. Eireann's been calling him "fatty" ever since.

The nurse took off his diaper to weigh him and while he was on the scale he decided it would be a great time to pee. He had quite the fountain going and the nurse was just standing
their holding the diaper. Finally she decided she could use the diaper to control the flow. He was covered in pee as was the scale and the floor. You would think a professional baby nurse would instinctively try to stop the cascade and not let it get everywhere. Oh well, it was pretty hilarious.
