The last time we were to see Doctor Biglow she was a little concerned with his weight. He has always been on the smaller side, which is just fine seeing that neither Scott nor myself are big people. But this time he was lower on the scale then she was comfortable with. He is still gaining weight with is a total positive, and he is an amazing eater so we knew that wasn't a problem. Our guess was that his metabolism has just sped up with all this new activity of crawling and now walking. But just to been on the safe side she wanted us to come back and have him reweighed when he was in the office for his second flu shot.
Yesterday was his appointment and it went GREAT! We were to see a different doctor because Dr. Biglow is still on maternity leave (she had a little girl by the way- Allison Grace... awwww.) We got to see Dr. Karyn Abdalah, who is not only in the same practice as Dr. Biglow but also a good friend to hers outside of work. Good to know they are on the same page as far as their doctoring goes. So first off we measured him and in 6 weeks he grew 2"! He is now 29"long and his head is measuring the same at 17". Next was off to the scale. Jackson now weighs 17lbs 11oz- he gained just 2oz shy of 2lbs. Definite progress and also definite proof that his lower weight last appointment was indeed due to his new found independence and activity. Dr. Abdalah sent us away with a good bill of health and told us not to be concerned- he is one happy and healthy baby boy! Yay! --Although we could have told them that ourselves!
