2 Week Check-Up

The Monday after we got the boys home, we took them to the pediatrician to get a weight check and have Dr. Malone take a look at the health of the little guys.  At that visit, Hudson's weight had dropped from 5lbs 9oz (at birth) to 5lbs 2oz and Harrison's weight had dropped from 5lbs 1oz (at birth) to 4lbs 12oz.

This past Tuesday, we took them in for their 2 week check-up.  I'm happy to announce that they got a perfect report, and our goal now is weight gain.  Ideally they will be gaining at least 1oz per day.

Here are the boys stats from their 2-week check:

Hudson Weight: 6lbs Length: 18.5” Head Circumference: 33cm

Harrison Weight:  5lbs 8oz Length:  19” Head Circumference: 33cm

They're taking in more milk each day, and we haven't had to use formula to supplement their feeding in the past week.  (I've even been able to start freezing about 15-20oz of breast milk for the past few days. Which means that most of my day is spent pumping and feeding, pumping and feeding.)

We go back again on September 23rd for a weight check, and then we won't go back again until their 2 month check up.
