2 week well check

16 days old

max saw dr j yesterday for his 2 wk well check and it went smashingly well!!! his current stats are 7lbs 10.5oz (2oz above birth weight!), 21in (he grew a whole in) and 35.25cm for head circumference. he slept most of the visit and only startled a bit when they did his heel prick for his blood draw.
dr j said to continue with the breastfeeding and supplementing for the next 2 weeks and then if there was no change in my milk supply (so stinkin low) that we could just starting doing all formula. baby max is a fantastic sleeper (please knock on some wood if you are reading this) and she said we can do one 5 hour stretch at night and then 2-3 hour stretches between feedings during the day. it was a success last night so hopefully it continues. papa_mona and i don't know how we got blessed with such a wonderful little momona baby!!!
some little fun facts about baby M...he eats and sleeps like his daddy...super fast and like a rock:)

he makes the best faces...especially when he is pooing:) his belly button fell off so he is going to get a real bath on friday! the hiccoughs are his archnemeis. his specialist appt for his hernia is next friday, although dr j couldn't palpate them yesterday...they seem to pop up when he is unhappy. we are having newborn photos done the same day...the birth announcements will probably get out after the first of the year:)
my dad, or momdad as papa_mona likes to call him, arrives today so we are all really excited about that!
