Dawson's 4 Week Check-Up

Can you believe this boy is ONE MONTH OLD!?

Where has the time gone. Please, please slow down.

On Tuesday I took Dawson to his 4 week check-up. I was expecting him to be somewhere around 9 lbs but boy was I thrown for a loop when they told me he was already 10 POUNDS! Which meant he had gained almost 2 lbs in two weeks. Oh my, I think we are going to have another big boy!

We did learn a couple things from this visit:

1. Dawson has thrush. For him it's not too terrible but because I'm breastfeeding it's excruciating for me. I have never experienced anything so horrible. A few times I have honestly felt like I've reached the point of passing out when I nurse. Everything I've read says it can hang around for a month or so, so lets just pray it evacuates soon! 
2. Dawson still looked a tad bit jaundice so Dr. Rule wanted to send us over to Rex to have blood work drawn. She wasn't too concerned but just wanted to make sure everything was working properly and that our sweet boy was okay. *We went that afternoon to have the blood work done and everything came out fine. His level was at an appropriate lever and our sweet boy was just fine!
3. Dawson has a big head. His head was measuring quite large for where it should be so she wants to see us back in two weeks to make sure it hasn't grown any larger. It measured a little over 38 centimeters, however, Camp's head measured at 39.9 centimeters at his 4 week visit. I'm thinking we're okay but we'll go back just to make sure.

Weight: 10 lbs (50%)
Height: 22.5 (80%)
Head Circ: 38 cm (85%)

Can I just say what a good baby Dawson is. He is so much more 'chill' than my other two babies were. We are enjoying him SO MUCH. Love this boy!
