Ethan had his follow up on Thursday with the paed. All is well
His weight the paed he was 4kg, Christmas eve he was 4.3kg
Iron is slowly rising. Previously it was 81 and this time it was 84. Most importantly it isn’t going down and he is gaining weight.
No more paed visits until Feb 08, WOOHOO!!!!
Happy 1st Christmas to our little Ethan! For a newborn he made out like a bandit!!!
Spent the day in his usual way, asleep LOL.
Awww we have smiles!
YAY it is so gorgeous but impossible to catch!!! I have tried many times but all i get is a goofy looking face, oh well i will catch it one day
Had an unofficial weigh in today. Figured we were there so might as well pop him on the scales and see what he is doing. It wasn’t a bare weight because i couldn’t be bothered to strip him down, so bearing in mind he was wearing a singlet, tee and shorts, our little porker tipped the scales at….
3.9kg!!!!
He is 7 days off his due date now so he is really powering along!!! Will be interesting to see what his official weight is this Friday.
Cant believe he will be 6 weeks old tomorrow but he is certainly acting like a 6 week old…the dreaded growth spurt!! Plus he is having heaps of awake times which is nice, seeing he is happy to go in the swing and stare at the mobile on it.
Ethan’s appt went well. Another follow up on the 20th to make sure he is seen around Christmas, otherwise it wouldn’t be til the new year. Dr extended til we get his next lot of bloods done. Instead of next week he said he wants it done on the Monday before his next appt, woohoo!! Now for the big news…his weight gain. In 1 week his weight has gone from 2.6kg to 3.1kg!!!! 500g in a week!!! Even the Dr couldn’t believe it and had to check it again for himself (the nurse weighed him)
