Will and I headed to the doctor on Monday. I always have such anticipation as they wheel in the scale. Is my little guy growing the way he should? Is nursing working out for us? Am I giving him what he needs? The sad thing is that I'm much more laid back about things this time around, so you can only imagine my stress every time Max was weighed in. . .
It turns out I had no need to be worried. Will has surpassed all hopes for his growth. Considering he was born on the small side, 6lb 9oz - 20th percentile, he has more than made up for it. He now tips the scale at 9lb 12oz and has already moved up to the 50th percentile. I guess things are going well! The doctor was very happy with this gain and so was I! He has also grown two inches and is now 21 1/2 inches long. I thought he seemed bigger, but when I see him every day it is always tough to judge. Now I'm happy I have a little reassurance that things are going well.
Max is at day care for this week and next. 
Then after that the three of us will be spending the rest of our summer together. I have to admit I'm slightly worried about being home by myself with a three year old and a six week old all day. As hard as it is to be a working mom, I really don 't know how all of the stay at home moms do it! I think I need to find some fun outings to plan to keep our days from dragging on. Hopefully mother nature is getting all the rain out of her system now so that when I have Max we can spend time outside.
