2 Week Checkup

Ok...so it's been a little longer than 2 weeks but the poor guy has had a busy 19 days! The doctors were concerned with Jack's weight since he was in the hospital. He was born at 9 lbs 12 oz and lost almost a pound in the hospital. Since supplementing Jack on formula he has been gaining weight slowly so the doctors made us come in every couple of days for a weight check. Well today he has finally caught up on his weight! He gained 15 oz in 5 days (which makes sense because he has been an eating machine) so the doctors don't need to see him again until his 2 month vaccination appointment.  The doctor retested his newborn screening tests that were performed in the hospital and all but for a few tears after having blood drawn Jack did great! He is in the 76% for body weight, 68% for height, and 82% for head circumference. He definitely has Daddy's head...sorry Jack!!
Jack is exhausted after his big morning at the doctor!
