2 week check up

Gavin had his 2 week checkup this morning at 8:30.  While I appreciate the fact that they want to keep the well kids away from the sick ones by making all the well appts first thing in the morning, goodness gracious do they know how hard it is to get to their office by 8:30 with a 2 week old and two parents starved for sleep?? 

Any way.........

Gavin had an excellent check up, the doctor said he was doing excellent.  I am going to follow my friend Erika's lead and give his stats and schedule so I can remember down the road.

Weight - 9 lbs 8 oz (his last weigh in was 8-11 on the 16th)

Length - 21.5 inches (Clay thinks they didn't measure him correctly :-))

Head - 14.75 inches

His current feeding schedule is:

5:00 am
7:30 am
10:00 am
12:30 pm
3:00 pm
6:00 pm
9:00 pm
12:00 am
we let him sleep as long as possible after the midnight feeding so this one floats, depending on him.  But it is usually between 2 and 3

The past couple of nights he hasn't been sleeping very well, not exactly sure why, from everyone I have talked to, it is normal for them to go back and forth. 

Our wonderful friend Violet took some awesome pictures of him this past Tuesday.  She got some really amazing shots of him between his temper tantrums about being naked or cold or just in a position he didn't choose.  He reminds me more and more of myself everyday :-).
