Spud went back to the pediatrician yesterday. He still weighs the same, 7 lbs 14 oz. The Dr. says that he needs to be back to his birth weight by the time he's two weeks old. So that's 12 oz. in 7 days, buddy! Eat up! The thing is, he is a serious chow hound, at least for the past few days. Claire feeds him every 2 hours or so (day and night), and he can go at it for 45 minutes or more. How can he eat that much and not gain weight? It's the new fabulous eat-all-you-want-and-don't-gain-weight Hollywood diet: the Spud diet. Chicks in New York are lining up to learn his secrets.
He's 1 week old tonight! Seven whole days on planet Earth. To celebrate, I will relate the poop colors of the past week:
Friday - Sunday: black, sticky, meconium (daddy changed ALL of these diapers by the way)
Monday - Wednesday: darkish yellowish, less sticky, MUCH easier to change
Thursday - Friday: orangeish "pumpkin innards" poop with little bits
Grandpa is fascinated by the Poop Report. Only a geologist could give a detailed explanation of gooey stuff and make it interesting!
