Malakai had his two week appointment this morning. While his folks are still a bit anxious packing him up and heading out into the big wide world, he seems to enjoy it very much. As he began to cry in the waiting room, we wondered aloud to each other for the first time, “What’s the protocol for this?” Upon finding the restroom, we were pleased to see one of those pull down changing tables, a necessity we’re much more in-tune with.
The Dr. is wonderful with him, and said he was doing just great. She loves his color and has always given him a clean bill of health. His new specs were: 7lbs 15.5 oz, (his birth-weight was 7lbs 15.7oz), 21.5 inches long (started out at 20 inches), and head circumference of 14 ¾ inches (up 3/4 inch). So he’s growing.
Which is no surprise, given that he’s taken to eating every hour, complete with diaper change. It is, we’re told, a growth spurt, and is completely normal if not healthy. We’ll try to remember that tonight as we wake up groggily again, and again, and…
Yea, he's two weeks old today!!!
