I see a corner, I want to turn
knocks on all the wood I think maybe we’re turning a corner on the whole nursing thing. I hope.
Prematurity
Tongue tied
Typing this on my phone, so if I say anything extremely weird you can blame it on auto correct.
Longest newborn stage ever
At least that’s what if feels like. When I look at pictures and videos of Lorelei at this age, it is very clear that Rowan is much more like his adjusted age than his actual age. His adjusted age is a mere three weeks. But he’s 11.5 weeks old.
2 months!
Two month stats:
7 pounds, 1.5 oz
19.75 inches
Head circumference: 36cm
He’s still not on the regular WHO charts, but he is moving on up the preemie charts. He’s had a huge jump in weight and head circumference. A more modest, on the same track, increase in length He got his two month vaccines.
Lactation leads to multiplication
Rowan has broken the six pound mark! That means he is over twice his lowest weight, and well on his way to twice his birth weight (I’d say by next week he’ll hit that milestone). It’s crazy to look at this teeny guy and realize he is two times bigger than something.
How many days?
I’ve spent a lot of time in the lobbies of various medical professionals in the last two weeks. And the common question is “awww, he’s so new, how many days old is he?” It’s always fun to watch reactions when I say “seven weeks.” Some people don’t seem to find that odd, and some look really surprised.
