8 week check up

Miles went in for his 8 week check up today. I was excited to see how much he had grown. His newborn sleepers no longer fit and he is filling his swing more. I told Brian that I guessed he was around 10lbs...you can imagine my surprise when she told me he weighed 12lbs 8oz. What a whopper:) He was 23 1/4 inches long. I was curious what Mady was weighing and measuring at her 8 week check up...11lbs and 23 1/2inches. I chatted with the Dr and asked about the constant moaning and grunting and he assured me that it is pretty common for babies and unless he is in pain it's ok. We talked a bit more about his development and when he got a clean bill the nurse came in to give him his shots. I can honestly say hearing your child scream after shots is one of the worst things ever! Once I got Miles calmed down...he whimpered, quivered his little lip and started all over again. Luckily he fell asleep once I put him in his car seat. P.S. Until a few days ago we thought we were going to have a baby that didn't spit up all the time...unlike Mady...we apparently called that to quickly because he is a huge spitter:?
