First Pediatrician Visit


Ayson had his first visit with his pediatrician, Dr. Gordon, today. It also counted as his two month check-up, and we know what that means...SHOTS! He got his first round of immunizations today, and I'm not sure if it was more traumatic for him or for mom! Angela warned me that it would be tough, but I just kept thinking that it couldn't be any worse than watching them start an IV on him in the NICU. His little scream melted my heart...and those needles are unnecessarily big! Ok, enough of that :)

He has passed the 6lb mark! His weight was 6lbs 1.5 oz, and his length was 18 1/4in. Milk does a baby good! He is still small for his age, but he is starting to move up the growth chart. On an adjusted scale (because he was two months early) his head is in the 41st percentile, length is in the 7th percentile, and weight is in the 16th percentile. Dr. Gordon is pleased with his growth and the older he gets, the more he should move up those charts.


And finally, Ayson has a question...he wants to know when he can meet his new best friend, Asher David Weston! We are so thrilled for our friends Kelly & Jessica, as they welcomed their new little guy into the world today. We can't wait to get the two boys together!

I miss that little man, I need an update whenever mommy or daddy have time! Hope everything is going well and he's starting to sleep at night?

Asher told me he wanted to meet Ayson too. Guess we need to work on that! I am so excited they are both finally here!
