Little Bits

Sorry its been a while, things are pretty chill here so there isnt much to write about! Since i've last update we've had two appointments...

We went too see another high risk development specialist run by the hospital he was born at... that doc said he's great also. The only thing he told us is to watch to make sure his head isnt flattening on the right side since he favors that one. He most definitely favors that and does have a little flat spot because of it... this will most likely self correct as he is more active and isnt just laying down so much. If it gets really bad he would have to wear a corrective helmet that would reshape it for him. Hopefully it wont come to that but its a possibility. This was a couple of weeks ago now but at the time he weighed 10lbs 4oz.

And then after that, we went to another urologist for his hernia, thats all still fine, the doctor is very pleased that its still soft and he's been able to put off his surgery until he's over 10lbs. He said babies who get them repaired before 10lbs often need to do it again at some point. Anyway, he's scheduled for surgery July 12th. He'll spend one night in the hospital, mostly just to make sure he's okay with the anesthesia and after that point he'll just go for a follow up later to remove the steri strip. He said he wont really feel any pain and the recovery is a piece of cake. We had to reschedule his renal scan for his kidneys because it happened to be on the same day as the surgery.

Our next appointment is the pediatrician for his 6 month shots and checkup on July 7th.

Milestone wise, we're right on track. He LOVES to smile whenever someone talks to him. His head control is continuously improving and he's rolled over 3 or 4 times. Once he can really pick up his head it'll be much easier for him but he can do it if he throws his head over to one side the rest of his body follows :) We sleep great, from about 9:30 - 6:30 everyday and he's even able to soothe himself to sleep which i've heard is impressive for his age. He's been insanely grumpy lately though, we think he might be getting a tooth on the top :(

Other then that we have just been hanging out! We had a great Father's Day at Medieval Times in MD. Horses, Swords, Jousting, Knights and delicious food! I recommend anyone that lives near one of these should totally go. That is all! I'll update after his pediatrician appt.
