Johnathan's 2 week appointment

So yesterday (8-11-09), our little baby had his two week appointment at the Pediatrician's. He got a clean bill of health and is looking great! He again SHOCKED his parents with his weight. He was 9 lbs 2 oz at his two week appt! I guess most babies regain their birth weight by this appointment (which he had done by his 4 day old appointment)...and he has far exceeded his birth weight! Wow, 9 pounds...no wonder he is feeling heavier. The other funny thing is we kept waiting for his umbilical cord "stump" to fall off, and it finally fell off while we were waiting for the doctor to come in! So yeah, all his things that needed to fall off are gone now and he can officially have a real bath now. He looks good with everything else...the only thing is he has large breast buds, but that is from my estrogen in the milk. I guess it is normal. We like our pediatrician a lot. To finish off the appt, he got his 2 week old Newborn Genetic Screen poke. He tolerated it like a champ. We have a great baby! : )
