Getting Hefty

Anderson went back to his pediatrician for his 1 month check-up today. He has gained 3 pounds since leaving the hospital and has grown 2 inches! He is now up to 10 pounds 6.5 ounces and is 22.25 inches long.

She said he looks great and she is very pleased with how he is doing. His incisions are pretty much healed so we can finally quit doing sponge baths and GET IN A TUB! WooHoo! So, we will finally see whether he is going to like bathtime or not (just when we had made it through a sponge bath with no crying!).

He did have to get a shot today- first time he had been poked since the day we were discharged from the hospital- let's just say he still isn't very fond of needles!

We go next Monday to the neurosurgeon. Looking forward to that visit. Anxious for them to see all of the things he is doing...wondering what they will think about it, and when they will schedule a follow up MRI to see what's going on.

I go back to the dr tomorrow for my 6 week check-up. Looking forward to getting released to get some exercise! Hoping the incision is healed right and that Doogie Howser knew what he was doing. Ha!

Hi Andrea ~ I am happy to have found your blog. Congratulations on your sweet new baby! I have a 4 year old boy, Wyatt, with P-ACC (among other issues) and it is always fun to meet families with similar situations.

Love, Bree
