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. Â 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. Â 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. Â His adjusted age is a mere three weeks. Â 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! Â 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). Â 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. Â And the common question is “awww, he’s so new, how many days old is he?” Â It’s always fun to watch reactions when I say “seven weeks.” Â Some people don’t seem to find that odd, and some look really surprised.
