This week was interesting medically. Because of how little he weighed, the decision about whether or not to circumcise him hadn't been able to be finalized. Gotta tell you- that's a strange one to look for advice for. It's not every day that you contemplate asking people you know, "So are you (or your husband) circumcised or not, and how's that going for you?" Ah- new territory.
This week at our pediatrician appointment to check on his growth, we were excited to learn that he had gained a whole pound in two weeks. He's now at 5 lb. 10.7 oz. He's doing really well and we get to wait a whole month before our next doctor's appointment. He has had six pediatrician appointments already in his short five and a half week life. We're looking forward to those being much fewer and farther apart.
Today I spent hours organizing Joshua's little wardrobe. I'm learning to ignore the size tag and to instead figure out their real size by holding them up to each other one by one for sorting. Tomorrow I should be able to finish and it'll be fun having all those cute outfits ready to use.

ReplyDeleteHe is SO strong! (and freaking adorable, but that goes without saying!)
ReplyDeleteSo cute. By the way our son was. I don't know that it matters to anyone but you guys and him in the future.
ReplyDeleteWow! He pushed himself up and over!!! Getting so strong. He's grown so much, but it is incredible how small he still is. I keep comparing him to Bricker for reference. I thought he was so tiny when he was born, 5 lb 14 oz. One lady at the mall thought I was nursing a doll! (Yep, I'm just a crazy lady.) I remember how excited I was when newborn clothes started to fit, at 3 months. So I get it. :) At least Joshua will wear the stuff a little while. :)
ReplyDeleteHe's such a little peanut in that swing!! He is now as big as Rachel at birth! He is really moving around for someone his size. so fun to hear you talk to him so encouragingly!
