Noah's Two Weeks Old

Noah is 2 weeks old today. In celebration of his 2-week birthday, we visited his pediatrician for his first well baby visit. Noah weighs 7lbs 8oz. He's gained almost one half a pound since last Friday. Noah's pediatrician said he looks great. He has a little bit of reflux that we will watch, but otherwise he's doing super. No immunizations today. We'll start those at his next visit, when he's 2 months old.

We're still working on nursing. Noah's getting plenty to eat, but he needs a lot of help to figure out what he's doing when he's nursing. We hope as he grows, he'll learn and nursing will become easier for all of us. The doctor did say that we no longer need to keep track of his feeding schedule. We can feed him on demand. This means that we won't have to wake him up at night to feed him every couple of hours. We'll just wait for Noah to let us know he's hungry and we'll feed him then. Hopefully this will help all of us get a little bit more sleep.

Here's a recent photo of Noah doing his "Superman." He likes to stretch his arms up high above his head and practice flying.
