Pediatrician's Visit

Hello everyone!  I wanted to give an update on my little man.  Bryant had his 2 week pediatrician visit today.  It went very well.  We saw Dr. Simpson, and he was extremely nice.  They weighed him, measured him, did a checkup on him, and took blood.  I had been a little concerned about how much milk Bryant was actually getting, when you are solely breastfeeding you just never know, well I am definitely not going to be worrying anymore for right now because the chunky monkey weighed 9 lbs 4 oz today!  That means in one week he has gained 10 ounces!  The doctor said that was fine and it just shows how good he is doing, but he also said not to expect him to continue to gain so much so fast.  He had also grown 1/2 inch from his birth length of 21 1/4 inches to now being 21 3/4 inches.  We are so proud and happy that he is growing so much!!  Everything else the pediatrician checked looked great.  He said he seemed to be one happy, healthy little boy!  That is beautiful music to a mother's ears!!  As for how we are doing at home, it's going well!  My mom left this past Friday, so it has just been the three...well four counting Sampson...of us since then.  I am definitely more tired, but that is just part of it!  Bryant has his days and nights mixed up, but we are hoping this will work itself out soon.  Otherwise he is a pretty easy going baby...up to this point! :)  Well, I guess that is all for now.  I am attaching some new pictures from the past week so everyone can get their Bryant fix!
