Two Week Check Up Vitals:
- Height: 20 3/4 in (from 19 3/4 in at birth); and
- Weight: 8 lbs 0.5 oz (from 7 lbs 2 oz at birth).
Andrew is growing on schedule, which was a huge relief for Mommy as she worried that he may not be feeding enough! His belly button and circumcision have healed nicely; and he was cleared to take real baths. Good luck to all of us on that one!!
He does have a slight case of jaundice, but our pediatrician, Dr. Isenhower, is not too worried about it and says a little sun will do him good. This is good news because Mommy got approval at her doctor's appointment to take walks as well; and a little sun will definitely do her some good too! Can you say "stir crazy?"
A.J. was really good at both appointments sleeping for most of it. He only cried during the second part of his newborn screening when the lab technician squeezed his little foot to extrapolate more blood.

Those meanies "extrapolating" your sweet baby. (Nice word, by the way) The first time I had to do that in nursing school, I called my mom on the way home and cried. It was so traumatic. By now, I am used to it, but I wasn't thinking and sent Joey for Nathan's while I was busy. How quickly I was reminded!
Sounds like he is doing great. Glad you guys can get out and both are recovering nicely. Enjoy the sunshine!
