Doctor

Brody's 1st doctor visit went well. After a week he's almost back up to his birth weight. Weighed 9lb 3oz....but honestly I feel like he's smaller. We left the hospital wearing Newborn diapers and clothes and already wearing size 1 diapers and 3mo clothes. So I know he's gaining just feels so tiny after holding Aiden lol.

Our pediatrician was SO impressed how strong he already is. When he kicks its so powerful! And when you burp him he can already hold his head up. Most newborns have no control. I love it because he will lean his head off my shoulder to just look at me. Love it!

Brody really is a great baby! (I know every momma says that, but it's true) He is not fussy at all. Only gets excited when he's hungry but we are already pretty much on a schedule. Which I love! I remember with Aiden he would get PISSED when his diaper was dirty...Brody not so much. So I'm constantly having to check because I wouldn't know otherwise...however he does have some narly farts (just like his daddy lol).

The only thing I'm waiting on right now is for his jaundice to go away so we can take some pictures. His level is 11, which is low and safe but I'd rather the yellow tone be gone. Need to take some brother pictures for our Christmas card.

Two week doctor appointment. Stat weight 10 lbs. 7oz. and links 22 inches. The goal was to be back at birthweight, but he exceeded on both marks. Look how much he grew......an inch and a half!! On a funny note my pediatrician calls my breast milk miracle grow just for that reason. And apparently being able to pump 5ounces on each side is pretty rare too.

Since about day 3 we've been battling baby acne and a rash on his face and we finally figured out the culprit. Brody just has really sensitive skin which means new laundry detergent and special baby wash. I can't use Johnson & Johnson and every single person's clothes has to be washed in the new laundry detergent. After just one day of switching it's practically gone I'm so impressed!!!!

The detergent is Tide free and gentle. And the full body wash is Eucerin Aquaphor Baby Gentle Wash.

I got a new phone so I'll have to upload the doctor pictures later so I'll have to end with some pictures I took today
