Week Two Follow Up at the Pediatrician

Our second week at home proved to be much less eventful than the first.  We had begun to figure each other out a bit more and were falling into a nice rhythm.  We celebrated Grandpa Bob’s birthday on Monday the 17^th, spent some more quality time with Grandpa Bob and Omi before saying goodbye to them on Wednesday the 19^th, had another visit from Papa and Gramma (a dry one this time!), and went to a few stores to run a few errands.  It was nice to be out of the house!!  A bit more complicated than it used to be but still nice!

On Friday the 21^st, Evan had his week two follow up at the pediatrician.  We arrived a little early (I know, hard to believe that we were early for anything, especially with a two week old baby, but we were) and were hoping to be called a little early too.  No such luck!  There was an emergency at the office that morning which caused everything to get backed up.  Evan was as good as always and only fussed a little bit when he was hungry.  We started to feed him and figured we would be called right then (Murphy’s Law, right?) but we were able to complete the entire feeding before the doctor was able to come in to examine Evan.  At his two-week weigh-in, Evan was an even 10 pounds!  He gained 13 ounces in one week!!  I guess he wasn’t having any trouble eating! Dr. Gonroff examined him and could not believe how alert he was for only being two weeks old.  She said that she normally sees that level of alertness in babies 4-6 weeks old.  How advanced for his age!  We received a clean bill of health and scheduled our next few appointments before we left.  I can’t wait to see what Evan weighs at his one month visit!
