2 week old checkup

At two weeks and two days old Jacob's up to 9 lbs, 7.4 oz, and 22 inches long. He's around the 90th percentile for height (Timothy's tall too) and I think the 75th for weight. The red circle around his eye is a normal bloodshot eye, a product of the fast birth (She said some Moms get them from pushing too). It'll disappear within a month and has no effect on his vision.

It's funny how many tiny little things there are with kids like that. There were a million things they thought were wrong with Leanna(birthmark on her forehead, supposed click in her hips, galactosemia, sachral dimple, etc....) Justin had a blocked tear duct, the hypospadius and for a while eczema. He had a lot of infant acne and the sachral dimple too. Timothy had jaundice and much later eczema/weird skin rash. Jacob has an extremely mild hypospadius too. We still have to take him to the urologist to get it looked at, but it might not need surgery. In fact, the pediatrician didn't mention it to me at either visit so they might not have even noticed it.
So now we're free of doctor visits until mid-September!(Jacob in September, Timothy and Justin in November)
