Will had his 2nd doctor appointment today with Dr. Mange. It was a weight check. Will gained almost one pound in 13 days! He's now weighing 8 lbs 5 oz. (he weighed 7 lbs 6 oz on Sept 9th) Dr. Mange said, "Well I guess I don't have to talk to you about feeding," with a smile. :-) He was happy about his weight. Will is now drinking 4 ounces every feeding (about every three to four hours).
Then I had him look at Will's umbilical cord which kind of fell off on day 17 (it was a biggie!! He got all the good nutrients from Mommy while roasting in utero). When the cord fell off, it looked weird to me like it wasn't totally off and looked pussy. He said it was all normal and they had to cauterize it. Now it will fall off all the way in 3-4 days. So no regular baths yet for Mr. Will!
Will had his first 5 1/2 hour sleep night last night at 18 days old. Yay for me! That was a nice treat.
Next doctor appointment is October 6th --one month well visit.
