the stats

Andrew had his 2 month WCC today. He now weighs in at 13 lbs. 1 oz, which puts him in the 75-90% for weight. He's 24 1/4 inches long, so just over 2 feet of baby! That puts him in the 90%. So far looks like he'll be tall like his daddy.

This was, by the way, our 4th trip to the pediatrician in 4 days! It started Monday with him being unusually fussy instead of his smiling self, plus his appetite was seriously diminished. Something was obviously wrong for this boy to not want to eat!So, I took him to get checked out. Late Monday night he came down with a fever of 102so they wanted to see him again. Thank you to Jill, and to Emmy for having Kara over to play. This time they did a blood draw, it was not a fun visit for baby or mama. Wednesday, since he still had the fever and because he is so young they wanted to see him yet again. They had given me a bag to put in his diaper so they could test for a UTI. Fortunatly, his fever went away Wednesday evening and he is mostly back to his normal happy self because the next step would have been to take him to Children's Hospital to determine the cause of his fever, and rule out anything serious.
