At his well-child visit yesterday, Ben was
21 inches (40th percentile)
8 lbs 4 oz (50th)
Head circumference of 14 inches (25th)
All is well with him - he cooperated well for the doctor - (except for peeing all over the scale!). They did not take his second heel stick for the PKU tests because the paperwork had not made it over from the doctor in McMinnville yet... We'll have to go back soon for that not-so-fun visit. :(
Today, I have MY follow up appointment with my doctor - Another car ride for Ben. He is being very kind this morning and let me take a shower and eat breakfast while he slept the morning away in the crib. Thanks, Ben! Andy had to go into work today - kind of the first real day at home for me by myself. Andy has been working half days and doing some work from home so far, but soon enough, he will have to be back at it full time...
We have had a few rough nights with very little sleep, but lucky for Ben, he's so darn cute. He makes up for it all with his cute little face and squirming random arm movements. Can't wait until we get the first "real" smiles!
You can see in the pics that Ben's cheeks are certainly filling in!

Wow, he really is growing! I can definetely tell in his checks, so cute! Sorry about the rough nights, unfortunately it is unlikely that they will come to an end anytime soon, but it does help that they are so cotton-picken cute
