We just had our 2 month checkup this past Thursday. We found out that he is on track in length, but not gaining enough weight. We think either I'm not producing enough breast milk or it's not rich enough. So we have started Kaleb on formula every other feeding. We have a return appointment next week to see if the formula will have made an impact. If so, then we know it was a breast issue. If not, then we might have to see a specialist. Hopefully that won't be necessary. I'm pretty sure the problem lies with my milk. He has been a lot happier these past few days we started on formula. He wasn't super grumpy before, and he always seemed satisfied after feedings, but in between he has been much more content now.
He reached his 1st milestone right on time, the social smile. He smiles all the time now. It's so contagious, you can't help but smile back! He's also cooing and vocalizing quite a bit. It's so neat to actually have "conversations" with your child!
I've started back to work and it was very hard! We were very busy when I first started back so I was having to work a little more than I wanted, but now we are slowing down so that's nice. Casey is having a reality check staying at home with Kaleb. He is doing a great job, but I think he is realizing how tough it can be. It has changed his perspective a little bit.
Here are some recent pics of Kaleb. The first two are at 8 weeks. The last one is at 11 weeks.
I've decided to just update this blog once every few months, mostly because I don't have a lot of access to the internet. Casey has the computer all the time, and when I am at home there are plenty of other thngs to occupy my time! I will send out an email letting you know when I update, so you don't have to keep checking back all the time. If you are reading this and you didn't get an email from me letting you know I updated and you want me to add you to the list, just send me an email I will add you. Thanks for all your love and support! I will try to keep it updated!
