Aaron's 13 day Check-Up:
At birth, his weight was 8lb, 5oz.
At d/c from the hospital, his weight was 7lb, 14oz.
At his last appointment (5 days old), he was back to 8lb, 5oz.
Today, at 13 days, he was 9lb, 5oz!! Way to go baby boy! They said he was 22 inches, but there's no way he grew 2 inches in 13 days. :) Breastfeeding rocks.
His umbilical stump is still there, doc said it should fall off in the next few days. He's trying to hold his head up, even though he really shouldn't be yet.
Emma's 3 Year Check-Up
Big girl weighed in at 29 lbs (35%ile) and 37.5 inches (75%ile). I mentioned her random snoring, and the doc checked her tonsils, which were a little red and swollen. They did a swab, and it turns out she has strep! So she's on antibiotics for a little while.
All in all, it was a really good visit with the pediatrician. Aaron goes back at 2 months, Emma goes back at 4 years.
On a side note, I'll be donating to the Mother's Milk Bank of Central Ohio, and I'm really excited about that. I should easily be able to get over the 200 oz that they request. Since I haven't donated blood for a long, long time (and that's one thing I always enjoyed being able to do), I think this is an exciting next step for me.
Whoa, go mama's milk! Sounds like you're doing great. How fulfilling to be able to donate milk to the milk bank, to go to the babies who most need it.
ReplyDeleteHope Emma's throat feels better soon.
Thanks! I'm so much more confident this time around with breastfeeding, and he's really got a much stronger latch than Emma did. We're rockin' it! Miss you loads -- hope you and the little guy are doing awesome.
