Eli's One Month Old!
Hard to believe that our little man is over a month old already! Time sure flies when you are having fun! (Did you think I'd say "sleep-deprived"? - I'm actually not.)
Here is a pic of Eli at one month and one day old...
Today, we went for Eli's 1-month check-up. He has been having problems with excessive spitting-up and vomiting, and he's still a bit jaundice, but otherwise he is doing great! His stats are:
Weight: 8 lb 9 oz
(19th percentile - up from 11th percentile 10 days ago)
Length: 20 1/4 inches
(7th percentile)
Head: 35 cm
(4th percentile)

Because he is still jaundice, we went and had blood drawn after the appointment to make sure everything is still related to the breastfeeding. Eli was such a trooper when they drew the blood, and he calmed down while the needle was still in his arm and he was still being held down! I am so proud of him! He also had to get his second Hep B vaccine while we were at the doctor's - that was worse for him. He turned beet-red and held his breath....but he recovered quickly with a little TLC from mommy.
We are going to try eliminating tomatoes and dairy (this is how much I love my son) from my diet, and we'll see if that helps with his reflux. He's also graduated from Axid to Prevacid. Hopefully the combo of these changes will help him be a little more comfortable.....

Thanks for the update. It will be interesting comparing size and percentiles for Eli, Sharon and Team Orlando. See you in a few weeks.
YEA for good boys!!! He is such a trooper! Can't wait to see him again! Shosh, you are a trooper too to eliminate those two things you love so much, but it will only be for a little while!! The love of a mother! I'll eat some tomato salad for you!! ;-)
