Henry's 2 week check-up

Our visit to the Dr. today went well.  I was shocked to see how much Henry has grown.  Henry now weighs 8 lbs 9.5 oz! That's about 1 lb more than his birth weight.  Aubrey was so small for so long, I just didn't think it was possible to gain that much weight in 2 weeks.  I'm sure the nurse thought I was nuts when I tried to tell her she didn't read the scale correctly.  The Dr. assured me that it is possible and in fact, he should be gaining an ounce a day.  He also measured 21 inches.  Now, it is doubtful he grew a whole 2 inches in 2 weeks.  He has always seemed long, so more than likely, they didn't stretch him out enough to get a good reading at the hospital.

Anyway, he is thriving and I'm thrilled!  The Dr. gave me permission to just let him tell me when he's ready to eat, rather than waking him up to feed him.  I've been nursing about every 3 hours during the day and then having to set an alarm to get up and feed him at night.  He rarely wakes up at the 3 hour mark during the day,and at night, it's 5 hours between feeding when I wake him. So... tonight we'll see how long he can really go!  YEAH.  

I'll try to get more photos posted soon.  All in all, we are doing amazingly well.  Aubrey is still adjusting, and with GiGi leaving on Saturday, I'm sure life will get interesting.  However, Henry is so relaxed and is making this transition to 2 kids so much easier than I would have thought!
