Henry -
I can't believe I forgot the update from your 2 month check-up with Dr Dennis. You are now 24 inches and weigh 12 lb 13 oz!
But the best part of the visit....your check-up was on Monday & you hadn't pooped since Wednesday. When we get to the appointment - we start off by getting you stripped down to be weighed. As soon as a pick you up of the scale I put a clean diaper on you so we don't have a fire hose incident while waiting for Dr Dennis. The nurse gave me a questionaire to fill out & the last item is "any concerns to discuss?" So I made a note on there to discuss w/ Dr Dennis "frequency of pooping". Dr. Dennis came in, we go through the rest of the questionaire - things like do your eyes follow an object, can you lift your head 45 degrees - and then get to my concerns. Dr. Dennis assures me that so long as you don't seem uncomfortable, which you haven't - not to worry about 4 days & that some babies may go 8,9,10 days & be just fine (I can't imagine!). During this whole conversation - I'm holding you with just your diaper on & at some point I feel a serious rumbling going on. hmmmm.
We finish talking & Dr. Dennis is ready to examine you & so wants to take the diaper off. I warn - I think we may have a dirty diaper to contend with. Dr. looks at me curiously as we've just had this conversation about you not pooping & says, no problem I can handle the diaper. He opens it up, peers in - looks back at me & says "hope you've brought a lot of wipes!" The volume was like nothing I've ever seen before & the timing was hilarious. Both the Dr & I had a good laugh as we got you cleaned up.
I told Dad later & he suspects you were trying to bulk-up for the 2 month "weigh-in" We didn't weigh you again, but I suspect you could have lost an ounce or two :-)
You are a funny guy Bigs!
Love, mama
