Leo's 2-week checkup

Leo had his two-week checkup today and is doing very well. Here are the statistics:
  • Weight: 9.0 lbs (75th percentile)
  • Length: 21.5 inches (90th percentile)
  • Head: 15 inches (75th percentile)
His jaundice is officially gone and all of his internal organs, eyes, throat, and ears are "perfect". The only upsetting part was the heel blood draw for the PKU test (a test required by Utah to screen for some birth defects)--Leo proved there's nothing wrong with his lungs! The pediatrician said, "Whatever you're doing, keep doing it because this is a happy and healthy baby." Those were wonderful words to hear, especially since I often feel like such a noob.

That is great news! Don't worry, we were noobs with our first one, but Mikie got through it OK.

So glad to hear he is doing so well. Way to go, Mom & Dad! You're obviously the best parents he could possibly have.
