Doctor Appointments and Bumbo

Nathan had 2 doctor appointments today. One with a Hematologist and the other with his Pediatrician. I have a "blood disorder" called Factor Five. It just means that I am at a higher risk to get blood clots. It is hereditary but have never had any problems with it. When Nathan was in the NICU, they took some blood to see if he too had the same issue. We found out today that he does not have it. Thank you Jesus! The doctor was awesome and so sweet. He said Nathan's blood looked perfect and was a healthy boy. Just what his momma wants to hear!

We then had a weight check up with his Pediatrician. Two weeks ago, Nathan weighed 10 pounds, 9 ounces. They said he was a little under weight so they wanted us to come back in 2 weeks for another weight check up. We went in today and he weighs 12 pounds, 2 ounces! Our doctor was very pleased with his weight and said he was a healthy baby! Once again, a very happy momma!

The other day, I remembered we had a Bumbo. I pulled it out of the closet and Nathan loved it! He was a little unsure at first, but loved being able to sit up and look around.

If y'all haven't noticed yet, my husband is a big HUGE St. Louis Cardinals fan (hence Nathan's middle name, Louis!). Now that they are in the playoffs, Alex has been wearing a Cardinal shirt every day. The sad thing is that he probably has enough Cardinal shirts to wear a different one each day for like 2 weeks! Of course, Nathan wanted to be just like his daddy wearing his Cardinals onesie and his Cardinals ball cap. I know Alex is excited for the day when he can talk baseball with Nathan and to take him to his first Cardinals game. Fun times to come!
