2 Week Check Up

Grant is doing great! He has gained a pound since his last check up. So I guess he is definitely eating enough.

His belly button fell off today, well, not his belly button. Gee, that would be funny. His umbilical cord fell off. I am so glad. I thought it would never come off. So, since we were rid of that icky thing, Grant got his first real bath in a tub. He was not a fan. But he's so cute in that tub! I just love naked babies!

His right eye is swollen sometimes and that is perfectly normal, claims the doc. I am relieved. I had a small fear that my child would forever look like a bee stung his eye or someone punched him. And the crusty goop that sometimes forms on his eyes is also normal - I just need to massage his tear ducts. Mason had this problem, but much worse. I hope that Grant's stays minimal.

So, he's doing good. One of my friends from school is loaning me her breast pump which is a huge blessing. I hope that it works great and I can keep breastfeeding after I work. I am really worried it won't. I will just have to believe. and pray. and pump.
