2nd Doctor Visit and lunch with Brandi

Will had his 1-month checkup today, which is a little early as he is only 24 days old. He did great, even though the room was pretty cold. He weighed 7 pounds and 11.5 ounces and was 20.5 inches long. He continues to grow very well. There were no immunizations today, but for his next, 2-month visit, he will be getting several shots. :(

He has been continuing to spit up quite a bit, so today we lowered one side of his crib so that his head can be elevated while he's sleeping. We're still going to give him Mylanta, but Dr Kung said that we may need to switch him to a stronger stomach acid medicine if he becomes uncomfortable when he spits or when he's eating; so far this hasn't happened - he just spits up and keeps on truckin'.

Our pediatrician's office is in Chesterfield, which is about 20 minutes northwest of our home but is really close to where Brandi works. After the pediatrician visit, we stopped by to see her and to go to lunch at St Louis Bread Company. It was cool that she was able to take some time away from work, but just as we were about to leave she had to run back real quick to help some customers and ended up making a big sale. Woo-Hoo! Her co-worker, Rosie, thought that Will was a cutie and got to hold him for a while while we waited and tested out the super-comfy chairs at Relax The Back.

Also, we ordered our birth announcements finally! ( I know, only 24 days late) I think they look very sharp... and holiday-ish, as they will probably be substitutes for Christmas cards this year.

Here he is just before he went down for another nap.


Tonight we're going to dinner with some friends from work who are eager to meet Will, so we'll probably have some more pictures tomorrow.
