1 Month Appointment

Yesterday was a long day.  Dominic was super fussy all morning...I think he some how knew that we had his 1 month check up that afternoon....and that their would be a dreaded SHOT!  He usually naps several times a day, but not yesterday.  He was up the whole day with the exception of a 45 minute nap on my chest.  As soon as I put him down he woke up and started crying again.

Miraculously we made it to the doctor on time and in one piece.  There was good news and there was bad news.  The bad news is that my favorite doctor is moving to a practice in Maryland.  I am so sad to see him go.  The good news is that we have a wonderfully healthy little man.  He is now 8lbs 8oz....almost 2 pounds more than his last appointment 2 weeks ago!!  That is exciting news since he was having such trouble gaining weight before.  I guess the formula is paying off.  He is a little taller too....coming in at 24 inches.

At birth the doctors were a little concerned about the size of his soft spot. They said it was significantly larger than normal - probably caused by a vitamin D deficiency during pregnancy.  More good news is that his soft spot has started to grow up and is no longer a concern at all.

Overall he is healthy and his growth is right on track.  We go back August 10th for his 2 month check up.
