Nathan is 6 weeks old today

In some ways, I can't believe 6 weeks has passed by.  In others, the upcoming weeks have been slow.  After only 6 weeks of pumping out breast milk, I'm throwing in the towel.  It has become an obsession that has been hard on the family.  For one, I can't keep up with Nathan.  He's eating more than I can produce.  Every time I think I'm catching up to him, he's eating more.  I'm constantly having to add supplement to my breast milk.  Just the other day, I tried to weigh him.  First with me on the scale, then with him.  Since we don't have a digital scale, I'm guesstimating that he's somewhere around 10 lbs!  At his two week check up, he was 21 inches long and 7.8 lbs!  He grew 2 1/2 inches in 2 weeks!
