Peanut went to see the doctor today and she was impressed with his weight gain over the last 3 weeks. Here are the stats:
Weight:
7/31/15: 8 lbs, 12 oz (Birth Weight), 81st percentile
8/2/15: 8 lbs, 2 oz (Discharge Weight), 43rd percentile
8/3/15: 7 lbs, 12 oz (1st Weight Check), 31st percentile
8/6/15: 8 lbs, 6 oz (2nd Weight Check), 46th percentile
8/12/15: 9 lbs, 1 oz (3rd Weight Check), 61st percentile
9/1/15: 12 lbs, 4 oz (1-month Check), 96th percentile(!!)
Length:
7/31/15: 21 inches, 90th percentile
9/1/15: 22 inches, 66th percentile
Dr. Kaplan also said that the jaundice had cleared so no blood work was needed.
He did, however, get a second Hep B shot in the thigh. He was NOT happy. What Mama is happy about is that his weight is high enough that he can start stretching out his feeds and we don’t have to wake him for night feedings anymore. Woohoo!!
