6 weeks old

Eli is 6 weeks old today. Crazy! And my due date would be this Wednesday the 23rd.

We had a pediatrician appointment on Friday to see his regular pediatrician. That went well, and he had gained some more weight. Weighing in at 5 lbs 13 oz. I would bet that today he is over the 6 lb mark! His doctor thought he looked good, and checked out everything, once again. He even gave me some tips for helping his scar heal better. I also noticed a suture that was still in his chest and Dr. Thakkar said at his 2 month appointment he could take it out. Which is way better because I had noticed the other disolvable sutures awhile back and everyone told me that I would have to talk to the surgeons about it. Which annoyed me because that would have meant another appointment. But Dr. Thakkar said that those would just disolve on their own, and the blue one that I saw could be taken care of there! It made me really glad with my choice of pediatricians!

As for little Eli, he fun during the day and is started being more awake during the day and is alert and looks around and rolls back and forth on his back. He is a little mover. He is very opinionated however. As soon as he is done with something, he is really done! And that kid can scream! Very unlike Caleb that's for sure. And he has trouble sleeping during the night and we have had quiet a few LONG nights, like last night where apparently 6:00 AM was his bed time. Hopefully he will take a long nap today so I can take one too! And I am hoping he starts figuring out that his long naps should occur at night! I think part of his problem is gas issues and he seems like he's in a lot of pain and is always "working on something". I am going to invest in some gas drops and lets hope they help!!! I need sleep.
