2wk appointment

Cluster blogging here we go! I'm a little behind and my goal today/tomorrow is to get caught up while he naps (assuming he naps).

On September 8th we took Marcus in for his 2 week check up! This appointment was a big deal to us for a few reasons;

A) we had been so worried since Marcus had a rough start. His eating was disrupted because of his issues and he ended up dropping down from 8lbs 3oz to 7lbs 6oz in the hospital in a matter of two days! So we were anxious to get him on the scale and see what his current stats were.

B) we were also concerned because a few days after being home from the hospital during a diaper change we noticed Marcus had a swollen testicle. Poor baby! I of course being hormonal, emotional, sleep deprived and healing from surgery broke down into tears and was rambling on about how I'll never be a grandma and yadda yadda. After a call to the advice nurse I was feeling much better and was relieved to hear that this was normal in 50% of boys and that it will go away.

C) Marcus's pediatrician just so happens to have been Chris's pediatrician! Crazy, right?!?!

We couldn't be more happy with how the appointment went! Marcus is healthy, his testicle issue was getting better and Chris got to see his childhood Dr. once again.

Here are little mans stats:

Weight: 8lbs 9.4oz (44.58 %)

Height: 21.5inches (87.35 %)

Head circumference: 36.8cm (43.10 %)

44.58% growth percentile based on age

Our baby boy is healthy as can be! Praise the Lord!

Love,

Chris and Katie
