3 weeks oldSo, we had another appointment today for little Max because at his 2 week appt he was not back up to birth weight- but about 2 oz. shy at 7lbs. 12.9 oz. We went back today for his newborn blood test and to weigh him again. Well- drum roll please- he gained TWELVE OUNCES this past week! He now weighs 8 lbs. 9 oz. and I am jubilant because I had actually introduced a pacifier this week and was a little worried that maybe I shouldn't have and that he might not be eating enough.
Also- Doc said that I can pump now and use an occasional bottle starting sometime next week- so that will be a relief and a convenience, especially for visits with in-laws and stuff- plus- I'll be able to leave him for a couple of hours with Jack- I can recharge my battery and know that he'll still be eating well.
I took him to Half Price Books today since I got the okay for visits in public- he likes his sling and he was a hit with my co-workers. They said he looks like Jack but has my eyes- I tend to agree- it's interesting the way that his face is really a combination of both of us. His nose will look like Jack's from one angle and mine from another- stuff like that- I can't wait to see how he changes.
congrats!
ReplyDeletei think he has more of your facial features right now...but who knows which of you he'll start to look more like as time goes by.
;)
Thanks- I see both of us- but I think his overall face looks most like me too- people generally first say Jack- but I think they're wrong. He does have Jack's lips- but he does me-stuff with them. He definitely has Jack's hands. I know alot of guys that look like their mom's we'll just have to wait and see....
