2 week check up
Jonah is a hefty 6 lb 7 oz now, up two ounces from last Thursday. It's not much, but at least we're headed in the right direction now. The pediatrician said the jaundice could have had something to do with the bruising, and all that could have an effect on his weight gain/interest in eating. He still doesn't seem to have a big appetite. The doctor also said she wants to watch him in case he's lactose intolerant. We will go back again next week to check his weight again. He's still a pound below birth weight so hopefully by then we'll be getting closer to 7 lb 7 oz again.
He still seems happy though, and has amazing head control for such a little guy. He's so little that last night Andrew went out to get preemie diapers (they were half off at walmart.) I am also going to borrow some preemie size clothes from a friend at church. I never thought I would have a baby that would fit into preemie clothes! It's kind of fun having such a little guy, too bad it's because he isn't growing.
