He weighs in at 12 lbs 2 oz. and measures 22.75 inches. That's 3.1 lbs gained since birth and 2.75 inches grown.
Nursing is obviously sustaining him just fine.
And here is Felix in his little tummy wrap. He's got a pretty bad umbilical hernia that we're trying to close up non surgically. Just a cotton ball pushed in where the hole is, plus the Coban wrap. However we were just at the MD office getting Felix checked for whooping cough since he's been exposed to someone who actively had it plus he was coughing.....anyway, the doc double checked the hernia and said it's look meek. He really doesn't want surgery but it hasn't gotten any smaller in the last 2.5 weeks.
Scarlett had the same hernia and it didn't close up until about 9 months, but it was so small that there was no worry. Looks like this one is quite a bit larger. Cross your fingers we won't have to take the surgery route.
P.S. he weighed in at 13 lbs 5 ozs and 23 inches at the whooping cough appointment. Felix is definitely a big boy!
