Ethan Happenings
Well, after a full blood draw, Ethan is out of the jaundice woods. His bilirubin counts are normal. There is a curiosity in some other stuff in his blood, but the doctor did not seem worried. We will have everything sorted out next week after a blood test.
Ethan has already surpassed his birth weight by quite a bit, clocking in at a chubby 8 pounds 9.5 ounces (Bianca insists on the .5...its her hard work after all; I was going to write handiwork, but it is not exactly her hands...). He has a big head and has grown two inches already, making him a towering 1 foot 9 inches. The doctor was pleased with his eating, sleeping, and growing and since that is all he does, he ran the table.
He has also been more awake, coming out of the newborn slumber in the past two days. He has been very awake for tummy time and during his awake time. He has also taken to the Babywise schedule well. Finally, he has displayed a great deal of head control and tonight (Wednesday March 25) he rolled over. It was more a head toss where his body followed, but it was a roll over.
Good stuff. Now if he could just work on that STTN thing.
