On Tuesday we got up bright and early to take Easton for his 2 week check up. We arrived and I started undressing him to get weighed and as soon as I took off his diaper he peed everywhere and a ton. :) We took him down to get weighed and the scale was going back and forth between 6lb 16.5oz and 7lbs and the nurse said, well, we will go with 6lbs 15.5oz. I tried to convince her to go with 7lbs, but she wouldn't budge. His weight was somewhat of a sign of relief because Easton had mainly received breast milk and all the research says if they are getting enough they should be at their birth weight within 2 weeks. Well, we weren't at birth weight, but close enough according to the doctor. She did have me talk with the lactation specialist at the hospital and she wanted me to try all kinds of things. Luckily at my 2 week check up my OBGYN put me on a prescription to help produce more milk and it is working! :) Just to be safe the doctor wants us to come next Tuesday to have yet another weight check. Other than that she said Easton looked nice and healthy. So, here's hoping Easton can start packing on the pounds and his Mama can relax!
Stats: Height 20inches (25%)
Head 14inches (25%)
Weight 6lbs 15.5oz (10%)
Later on in the day we went to the airport to pick up Aunt Tara. Easton does so well in the car and it was a nice break for us all to get out in the fresh air. After we picked up Tara we decided to stop by Meme's work really quick to show her coworkers her handsome grandson! Then Aunt Tara got in some good rocking time with her new nephew! So glad to have her help.
