Great Expectations: Doctor Day #2!!!!

Today we went for David's two week check up, and here's the update:

Dr. Hodge saw David today and she immediately commented on his growth. Even though we are three weeks early, David is right on track with his growth! He's a little small weight wise, but size wise, he's in the 50th percentile. What does that all mean you ask...It means he's as normal as every kid out there! He's right on track! And is this boy healthy! Everything on him looks strong, and healthy and he's doing very well! Here are a couple of stats that we got today you might like to know:

Length - 19 3/4 - Growth from birthday - 1 inch

weight - 6 lbs 15 oz. - Growth from birthday - 7 ozs.

What a good boy! He is now eating 3 1/2 ozs at a setting and what great news that Michelle's milk has definately come in and she is now producing 2 to 2.5 ozs at this juncture....Which has increased rapidly to accomodate our little stinkweed.....Michelle had to "pump and dump" because of an antibiotic that she was taking. The doctor today gave Michelle the clear to return to feeding David breastmilk, and man did he enjoy it! He destroyed the bottle of breastmilk and continued by taking another once and a half of formula! He's his father son! He enjoys a good meal! David turns two weeks old tomorrow and Mommy and Daddy can't believe its already been that long that he's been around. He's doing so well and everyone is so proud of him. FYI...is it weird to celebrate your son's 1 month birthday? Daddy wants to, but how do you throw a "birth-month-day" party for a child who can't really see yet and who's food intake consists of milk? Any ideas out there?

On a sidenote, Sarah and Brad....you're kids are amazing. Jacob is so intelligent and sporty, and Emma and Isabel are just the cutest two little girls on the planet, and they are growing up so fast. You are very blessed, and we love being a part of it. We read your blog indepth tonight and giggled till we cried when Isabel was grooving to some William Tell. Also, thanks for refering us to Dr. Hodge. She's very good, we really like her.

Enjoy!!!!!

Having a little father-son time....
