So, the Heffalump continues to live up to his namesake. His two week appointment was yesterday, and he is now weighing 9 lbs. 14 oz. - up 18 oz. in just 10 days! What a little porker! They are still putting his length at 21.5 in, and his head circumference is now 15" (up about 2 cm from his birth circumference of 36 cm).
The appointment went well - the pediatrician is very pleased with his weight gain. Go Boobies! Shane is still looking a bit yellow, but they tell me that is a result of the breastmilk and will clear up eventually. A small part of his circumcision isn't fully healed just yet, so they gave me some ointment samples to put on it. They told me it should heal up in the next week to ten days.
He goes back in two weeks for another check up and to get his hepatitis vaccine boostered.
Even more exciting, we lost our umbilical cord stump last night! So guess who is getting a bath today...
