Charlotte was 6lb 9oz @ birth. I didn't take as good care of myself the 2nd time around w/Campbell (indulging more in caffeine, less in exercise and sleep), and he was 7lb 3oz.

So your observations are likely accurate. I heard once of an old Jewish saying that implied that if you made your children cry as infants and toddlers, they would make you cry when they hit adolescence. Make of it what you will.

It really helped me to help my kids develop into strong, capable adults, without surrendering my own needs.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12889103431334526190noreply@blogger.com
