Check-up

Spencer had a check-up with his primary care pediatrician today and things look good. He is scheduled for a couple of tests next week (a renal ultrasound and a vcug- which basically checks for reflux of the urine). In the meantime, he's eating like a champ and is up to 9lbs, 11.5oz already. His overall fussiness has declined, though he still shows signs of colic. He gave Daddy and me a run for our money this morning- awake from 2:45 until about 4am, then again from 4:30am to 5:45am. At first he was just alert and not wanting to sleep (and refusing to be comforted by anybody NOT standing up and walking around), then he began to get a bit fussy. But he fell fast asleep and I had to wake him up this morning in order to get him ready for the doctor's appointment. Hopefully he learns to reverse this sleeping-in-the-day-awake-at-night pattern SOON! I'm ready for a good night of sleep...

Will continue to post updates as we learn more. Thanks again to all for keeping us in your thoughts.
