Abby and I took Maxwell to his 5 week check up with Dr. B. He did so good with getting weighed, measured, physical review and of course a shot. Abby and mommy where more sad with the shot then Max was. Abby read us books while we waited for Dr. B. Dr. B was very happy with how Max was growing. Max gained 2lbs. 7oz. and grew 1.25inches in just 3 weeks. He is 9lbs. 13oz. and 22.25in. long and is doing well. We are hoping he starts to get into a routine of eating every 3-4 hours during the day instead of 2 hours, but we are thankful he is doing so well nursing! At night Max is waiting around 3+ hours to eat, so that is wonderful (at least for mommy!) Dr. B also made a request that Abby get her very own doctors kit so she can keep a eye on Maxwell while we are away from the doctor's office. So after our successful doctors visit, off us 3 went to Walmart for a two hour shopping trip. Getting to the store is not a very frequent option for us at this time so we had to make the most of our outing. And yes, Abby got her doctors kit (she loves it)!
We want to share our memories with our family and friends throughout our journey together. Enjoy and watch us as we adventure the days the Lord has blessed us with.
