Grayson had his 2 week doctor's visit -- and he is doing great! He now weighs 9# 14 oz!!! He's gained almost a pound and a 1/2 since he was born! Babies are supposed to be back to their birth weight by the 2 week check-up (they lose a lot after they're born) -- and Grayson has far surpassed his birth weight! Dr. Campbell said I was "a good cow" -- because I'm obviously doing well with the breastfeeding!! Steve got a kick out of that one, and has been telling me to moo now every time I feed the baby!!! Gray also is 21 inches long, so a 1/2 inch longer than at birth! And his caput (swelling on his head from where they had to use the vacuum) is going down -- the doctor said it may take a few months to go away completely! All in all, Grayson is healthy and thriving!
His cord stump finally fell all the way off, so I got to give him a real bath in the cool bathtub my mom got for him -- it uses constantly-flowing water, so it always stays warm -- and it has a built-in thermometer so I know the water is the right temp for him! He actually liked it -- and fussed when I stopped pouring water over his head! He's going to be a fish like his daddy!
He gets cuter every time I see him! I'm so glad he is doing well, and good for you for being a healthy cow :) Isn't it glamarous?
ReplyDeleteGood cow!! Hahhaaaa I sure got a kick out of that too. Oh Mantha he is so sweet~ I can't believe how different he looks every time. I check the blog every day to see the darling changes. :) That's a cool bath! Good job Baby Gray!!
ReplyDeleteSam I think you look absolutely beautiful - - you just glow ! Trust a man to make that comment ! Oh Gray is so cute ! Glad you both enjoyed the bath time ! fun
ReplyDeleteHe is so cute! Maddux gained the same amount of weight at his two week appointment--it must be the boppy, (we have the same one). My doctor told me I must produce pure cream--I thought that was weird.
ReplyDeleteI'm so glad all is well and he looks just healthy and perfect. Go Mantha, natural mother.
ReplyDeleteI love how tiny he is in the tub! Before you know it he will be way too big!
