Jacob celebrated his one week birthday by taking a trip to Dr. Hickey’s office for a check up! Ok, so if he could talk right now, I am guessing he would have wanted to do something else, but he is still working on that skill. He slept the whole way there (loves the car rides) and even through the waiting room, but once the nurses and doctor started the check up, boy did he wake up. Though he was not the happiest guy through the check up, he got rave reviews from the medical staff. His birth stats were 19.5 inches long and 7lbs 4oz. At his one week check up he measured 20.5 inches long and 7lbs 6oz! Babies lose 10% of their birth weight while in the hospital, so the first goal is to get them to gain that weight back… and Jacob surpassed that goal, plus grew and inch in one week! Dr. Hickey was very impressed and I think Jake’s mom is feeling good knowing all that feeding time is paying off.
