Spencer had his routine 2 week doctors appointment today. Generally, all babies loose some weight right after being born and leaving the hospital. With that in mind, our doctor told us that they like to see those babies gain back enough weight to meet or surpass their birth weight by the time they are 2 weeks old. Spencer weighed 7 lb 4 oz when he was born, he weighed 6 lb 11 oz when we left the hospital, but was still at 6 lb 11 oz as of last Wednesday's doctor appointment. Fortunately, he has been a wonderful little eater from the start and now that the jaundice is behind him, he was able to meet his goal! His weight today was 7 lb 6 oz. He has grown a 1/2 inch and his head circumference has gone from 33 to 35! I believe it is fair to say that we have a healthy growing little boy on our hands!
