Cole had his first doctors appointment today and it went very well. Cole peed on me for the first time and then the doctors proceeded to tell us how great Cole looks and that everything looks great. the doctor was impressed with Cole's growth and progress.
He weighed in at exactly 5 lbs. today. He also measured 18" long. So just to recap, that 1lb 12oz and 2 1/4" since he was born. He is still very small but seems so large to us.
One thing the doctor did mention to us was that he would suggest limiting Cole's exposure to potential germs and infections. He simply said if Cole were to get sick, even a cold, he would be back in the hospital at his size and age, Due to this we continue to ask you understanding and patience as we continue to keep his visitors limited as he continues to grow. He also said that for some time his mother and father should be the only ones to hold him to help ensure his growth and health. This saddens us a little because it means close friends and family will continue to have to wait to hold him.
Thanks again for everything and we cant wait for his 6lb post.
James, Michelle and Cole - What great news.. the little man is packing on the pounds and growing like crazy - music to my ears! We are all thinking of you and sending love from Denver. You are lucky because you get to keep all those first months of precious snuggles to yourselves... he is so blessed to have you as parents!
ReplyDeleteWelcome to The Club (the one where your infant son pees on you!). When you change his diaper you need to just always assume that he is attempting another attack. Always keep it covered! The second you let your guard down, he will get you again. I can't believe he is at five pounds already! You guys are doing such an awesome job!
ReplyDeleteWhat an amazing little guy. I love the little look on his face, "got my mom and dad right where I want them, keeping them on their toes." Can't wait to hold and cuddle with him....
