According to Dr. Hirsch babies gain about 1 lb every 2 weeks, so at 6 weeks Nathan's actually ahead of the average. Developmentally he's also on track; he's already smiling and moving his head around during tummy time.
When Dr. Hirsch consulted with the nephrologist regarding Justin's ultrasound his first question was what were the results of his kidney blood work. So to avoid an unnecessary visit with yet another specialist Dr. Hirsch had me bring Justin in to have his blood drawn. My poor baby was poked twice. Since Justin is so strong and moves so much/quickly they weren't able to get enough blood from the draw in his arm so they had to poke his finger.
But Justin is such the social butterfly/flirt. While I was undressing Nathan he walked out of the room and started roaming the halls. He got to one room and just stared at the boy in it. Another room he just walked right into, lol. He also made his rounds to the nurses at the front desk.
This was also my first trip out alone with the boys and it wasn't too bad. We bought a double stroller a few days ago so the night before the appointment I practiced opening and closing the stroller and getting the car seat in and out of both the stroller and the base. I felt pretty comfortable with it, but low and behold, when I went to get Nathan out of the car yesterday I couldn't get it out, so I had to take him out of the carrier and put him in the stroller.
