Today was Baby D's second well-baby checkup. After the NICU fiasco, I'm always nervous that they'll find something wrong, especially with weight gain or other feeding-related aspects.
Well, I needn't have worried!
In the ten days since his last checkup, Baby D has gained (drumroll, please) three quarters of an inch in length and over one pound!
At twenty-seven days old, my boy weighs 11 pounds, 5 oz.
Evidently, the nursing is going well. :-P
Good job, Mama!!! Susannah and I had a little trouble at the beginning so she had 2 weight checks... we had worked SO HARD to get her to eat, when we went for the 2nd one and found out we'd arrived on everyone's lunch break I sat in the car and cried. After we went back in and found out she'd finally gained weight and we didn't have to take her back again, it felt like a HUGE burden off my shoulders and I could finally relax.
ReplyDeletePoor Miriam! There really is a ton of performance pressure in the beginning! As if you don't already have enough to worry about with a newborn. :-/ Looks like Susannah is doing just great nowadays!
ReplyDeleteHow long was he when he was born????? WHY are you withholding that information??
ReplyDeleteHaha, he was born 21". He's now 22". :-D
