Doctor Update

We went to the doctor today for Sebastian's 2 month appointment. He is really growing! He has actually made it onto the percentile charts now which is much better than our 2 week appointment (which was actually at 4 weeks old). He is in the 2nd percentile for height & weight, but if they corrected it to his actual due date (4/10) he is in the 55th percentile. He is now 8 lbs 12 oz (we were all hoping he just hit the 8 lb mark, so he beat all of our expectations) and is 20.5 inches long. He gained almost 3 lbs in the 4 weeks since his last visit.

His digestive system issues are just due to his prematurity and will get better as he gets older. Mark and I just have to touch it out until then, but they do want me to stay off of dairy and soy for a while longer. But I can have chocolate, strawberries, eggs and nut products now!

We also got the green light to let him sleep through the night (or however long he will sleep) and to be able to take him to public places. Mark and I are excited to be able to go back to church and to not have to tag team errands anymore since we couldn't bring him into stores. Perfect timing for Grandma Cate and Grandpa Jim to come into town on Saturday to visit!

Here is a little picture comparison of how he has grown in the weeks that he has been home:

3 1/2 weeks old

8 1/2 weeks old
