At our appointment yesterday at the Children's Hospital, they weighed and measured Jameson, but I wanted to wait for the reveal until after his appointment today, so I could also report percentiles. We will get to that in a minute. I first want to update on how the appointment went yesterday. We found out that Jameson has superficial hemangioma on his chin (collection of blood vessels under the skin). Luckily, it is not a serious case and is mostly under the skin and not raised like a lot of hemangiomas. We may have to seek some treatment that would require a night in the hospital and then ongoing management, but it is nothing serious and that is all that matters! For now, we have some topical medicine and we go back in 6 weeks to check the progress and decide at that time if we want to pursue the next course of action. The doctors were amazing and I am thankful for their knowledge and guidance.
OK, now for the stats. Drum roll.....
He weighed in at 20lbs 8oz (90th percentile) and is 27 or 28 inches long, depending on who was measuring (70th percentile). His little noggin is 17 inches (30% percentile). Love my chubby bunny!!
The ever dreaded shots were also today. Fortunately, this week has been so busy that I have not had too much time to fret about them! Anyhow, as usual, Jameson was a champ. The best part is he sucks down the liquid rotavirus like no one's business. The nurse always gets a kick out of it because most babies spit it everywhere! When she pricked him, he let out a pretty hefty squeal to let us know he was not a fan, but then was perfectly fine afterwards. He passed out on the car ride home and is still peacefully sleeping. On that note, I am going to go steal some sleepy bean cuddles before he wakes up!
