On Thursday, March 28th - we had Christian's 1 week appointment with the pediatrician. He said Christian looked great! He weighed 7 pounds, 2 oz (28.27%), his height was 19.29 inches (14.03%) and his head circumference was 35 cm. I had a few concerns to ask about... Christian has been SUPER gassy - which doc said could be just baby's body getting adjusted or it could be something I'm eating... he suggested cutting milk (ugh) to see if that helps. He also had a rash on his chin - which apparently was caused from saliva and totally normal. He also looked at his umbilical cord -which was starting to stink! Lastly, he checked Christian's breathing - he sounded a bit wheezy to me, but doc said he sounded good. Doc asked that we come back in 1 week to do a weight check since Christian wasn't back up to his birth weight yet (which was 7 pounds, 7oz).
On Thursday, April 4th - we had Christian's 2 week appointment. Christian weighed 7 pounds, 11oz (33.03%)! YAY!! Baby boy gained 9oz in one week! Wooohoo for milk coming in! His length was up to 19.5in (9.56%) and his head changed to 36.5cm. It's amazing how fast growth happens in small babies!!! I am so happy that my sweet boy is doing so well. I'm officially embarking on new territory. I only breast fed for 2 weeks with each of my older boys... and the fact that I'm still breast feeding, and my baby is thriving, is such a great feeling of accomplishment for me! I hop
e to keep going for awhile longer, God willing. :)
