Just thought I'd update everyone on Tucker's 2-week check-up.
* Weight - 10 lbs. 6 oz., which puts him in the 99% (that's 7 oz. above birthweight. When we came home he was only at 8 lbs 14 oz., so in 10 days he's gained 1 lb 6 oz. Yeah, he has NO problems eating!)
* Length - 22 1/2 inches which puts him in the 99% (at birth he was 20 1/2. I asked the Dr. if growing 2 inches in 2 weeks is normal. The Dr. told me that they probably were off on the measurement at birth because he was so scrunched up.)
* Head - 38 1/2 which puts him in the 95% (it was 39 when he was born, but that was including his huge goose egg from the vacuum. Yeah, did we mention that it may have been a c-section but he was so wedged they needed a vacuum. Crazy Baby!)
We have had a few nights with little sleep, but last night I discovered that at night Tucker doesn't mind being swaddled, arms and everything, when he sleeps. I swaddled him around 5:15 and I had to wake him up to go to our 8:45 appointment this morning. His favorite place to sleep is on Daddy's chest or in Mommy's arms. He's a lot like his Boehrer Uncles (Mommy's brothers), he doesn't care what you do to him or what's going on as long as he has a full tummy. He poops... ALL THE TIME! He has lot's of good dreams that let Mommy enjoy his smiles when I catch them. But every once in awhile he will have a bad dream and wake up screaming. Poor baby! His Daddy comes home for lunch every day and the first thing he does is kiss me and then cuddle his Little Buddy, it's so cute! All-in-all he's a great baby and we love him to pieces!
