We were off to the doctor again this morning, this time for Max's one month checkup. As always I was a nervous wreck! What if there were tons of sick kids (I still haven't figured out quite how to build a force field around him. . . )? What if he doesn't gain enough weight? What if he has a horrible reaction to his shot? Luckily all went well.
There was only one other child in the waiting room and he didn't look too sick, but we still sat as far away from him as we could. Max had a great weight gain! He was up 21 oz from his appointment two weeks ago! The doctor likes to see a gain of an ounce a day, so Max did that and more! He is now up to 9lb 4oz. Our little boy is filling out. He has now officially outgrown a few outfits, so I had a feeling he had gained. As for his shot, he only needed one today and I was able to calm him down afterwards fairly easily. Unfortunately the doctor told us that he will get lots of shots at his two month appointment, so I am not looking forward to that.
Other than that, all is well. Max had one four hour stretch between feedings last night, so that was nice. He is nursing well and he is getting quicker - which means I get to back to bed faster.
