All About the Kids
Morgan is 3 weeks today. We had his 2 week checkup and Abby's 2 year check up today.
Since bringing Morgan home he has fought and overcome dehydration and dramatic weight loss. Sadly he decided that breastfeeding was not his thing, so I have been pumping what feels like constantly. And I will just see how long I can take it before I switch him over to formula. I have to admit that having Abby say "mommy cow" while I am pumping doesn't make me feel all that good about my endeavors. Additionally I don't think I am the La Leche League type of mom that is all gung-ho about breast milk. My daughter is uber healthy and was put on formula about 6-8 weeks into her life. So other than formula is expensive not much is keeping me from switching right now. I am going to try to hold out for at least another month though. Is it so wrong that I am trying to talk myself into continuing with breast milk?
So at the check-up it turns out in the 17 days since we saw the Doctor Morgan has gained 30 oz. Which is "Impressive" according to the Doc. He is now 9 pounds 1.8 ounces. 21.5 inches long and 14 and 7/8 inch round head. He has been over eating quite a bit lately and more than once has covered me with The Exercist style vomit/spitup. But in general he is in great health which is all I could ask. Now we need to work on his night and day confusion. I am not getting more than 2-3 hours at a time.
As for Abby, she is handling big sisterhood in stride. At her check-up she is weighing in at 28 pounds 12 ounces and is 36.5 inches tall. You go girl!
So both kids are healthy and that makes me very happy. Now I need to work on my health. And also a better routine for the kids.

My son is now on formula full-time and is thriving. You do what you can and you're doing a great job!
Glad things are settling in well for you and your little family!
