2 Week Check-Up

Baylor went in for another follow-up appointment today. He weighed in at an impressive 9 lbs even and measured 20 3/4 inches long. The nurse seemed surprised when she read the figures. I thought maybe she was waiting for him to poop on the scale again. Luckily, we did not repeat that little performance.

When Dr. N calculated out the amount of weight he gained each day since his last visit, she was astonished to discover that Baylor is gaining double the amount that he needs. I'm not sure whether he's just going through a growth spurt or whether he's going to be a giant. Either way, all he does is eat! We're so proud! You better be nice to your little brother, Jax. At this rate, he'll be able to beat you up by the time he's 6 months old!

Dr. N still detected the slightest heart murmur, but again stated it was nothing she was concerned about. She said that it is somewhat common to be able to detect slight murmurs until 8 months of age. Surprisingly, I'm not worried about the issue at all. Dr. N is very reassuring. We'll go back in 2 weeks for another follow-up, but for now all looks good!
