Lots of trips to the Pediatrician



The Sunday after we came home was Carter's first trip to the Pediatrician...yes, that's where I celebrated Mother's Day. :) I really like our Pediatrican and the fact that they have an office open on the weekends. We saw Dr. Landgon at the Raleigh office but she works at the Clayton one. Dr. Landgon was great. She seemed to really love Carter! Everything was good...Carter weighed 8 lb 5.5 oz. She wanted to see Carter again on Tuesday to check his weight. On Tuesday, he weighed 8 lb 8 oz. Since I am breastfeeding, the doctor wasn't happy with his weight gain so we went back on Thursday. He weighed 8 lb 7 oz. Still not good enough...so we had to go back the next Tuesday. Then he weighed 9 lb 5 oz! Over that weekend, we began feeding him with the bottle...and that put on the pounds! We go back to the doctor on June 9th...

2 week check up:
Weight: 9 lb 5 oz 70th percentile
Height: 22 inches 90th percentile
Head Circumference: 37.5cm 60th percentile
We are growing!
