9/28/10: Cody had his two week check-up with Dr. Grills. When Cody was born, he weighed 7 lbs. 3 oz. When we left the hospital on 9/16, our little guy was down to 6 lbs. 9 oz. Dr. Grills had us come in to get weighed on Monday, 9/20, and our little Code Man had only gained 1 oz. from the time we left the hospital to that day. They put us on 3 oz. of formula a day to supplement after a few feedings. They also scheduled us to come back to get him weighed two days later, on 9/22. When he got weighed then, he was up to 6 lbs. 13 oz. So, the formula was doing the trick.
Yesterday, my baby boy weighed in at 7 lbs. 5 oz.! Dr. Grills was very happy with that, and said he is a very healthy boy! What a happy momma that makes me!!
Also, good news, his jaundice is finally gone! We were afraid he might have to stay in the hospital a day longer because he was jaundice. Thankfully, they let us go home after they got his blood work back, but, we had to return to the hospital the very next day to get more blood work done. Talk about hard! It was so painful for me to hold my 3 day old baby and have them take blood from his tiny heel. Poor little guy, they scared the pee out of him! Anyway, the Dr.'s office called me later that day and said that it's looking better, but to keep putting him in indirect sunlight. So we did! Slowly, the jaundice started to go away, and there was no sign of it yesterday!
I just can't believe it's already been two weeks since Cody was born! Before I know it, he'll be crawling!
