Pediatrician Appointment

Mickey had his follow up doctor's appointment today. He went in Saturday and he had lost 2 oz so they wanted me to come back today just to check and make sure he had started gaining weight. I guess it's customary for babies to lose a little weight until the milk comes in so when he left the hospital he was 9 lbs 1 oz and Saturday he was 8 lbs 15 oz. Well, he has been eating like crazy so we weren't worried about it at all, but we prayed anyways that everything would go well. They weighed him today and he's at 9 lbs 4.6 oz! The doctor was calling him a little porker...lol...that's my boy! Anyways, that's a great weight gain (the doctor said he's showing off a little), so thank you Lord that he's eating well.

Everything looks really good according to the doctor. He has a small birth mark right above his tail bone which the doctor said looks fine, but they want to do an ultrasound of his spine just to make sure it looks good. He said if there was a problem there would be more evidence around the area (which there isn't) but they still recommend an ultrasound. So, just pray for that. Again, the doctor really isn't concerned and he said it's probably just a mark from being born, but prayer would still be appreciated! Besides that though, Mickey looks very healthy which we are extremely thankful to God for! He has truly blessed us with the most beautiful and wonderful baby boy :)

Keep praying for him with scheduling! He has his days and nights a little confused right now, but the doctor said he should faze out of that. He slept better (which means so did I) last night, but please continue to pray for grace for Chris and I as well as wisdom. Thanks!
