Our Growing Boy

Today we had our one month well visit to our Doctor! Have I mentioned how much I LOVE our pediatrician? He is so energetic, great with Patrick, and patiently answers all questions I have about written down. The AWESOME part is the waiting room. Literally I check in, and before I can even sit down I am being called back. I cannot state enough how happy this makes me! Especially when I have a baby that could wake up at any minute and become cranky.

Today our boy weighed in at a whopping 8 lbs 11 oz. That is 2 whole pounds more then he was 2 1/2 weeks ago! He is also 22 inches long, which is up 1 1/2 inches. Amazing! I have to admit that knowing that I am solely breastfeeding and I am helping him grow and be healthy (God willing) is quite amazing. As tiring as getting up every two to three hours is, I know now that it IS paying off for him. Maybe not for me, but I have faith that he will start sleeping longer (Or at least I hope so since I go back to work in two weeks....but that's a different post!)

He also got his second Hep B shot. Poor thing. He cried until I picked him up and then he was just fine! Next month is when he gets a lot of his immunizations. Any suggestions for going to the Doctor then and dealing with it?

Until then I pray he keeps growing as well as he is! Have a great weekend and Happy Mother's Day! I will be celebrating my first one! I am truly blessed!
