Clean bill of health

Liam had his follow up appointment with the liver specialist today since his bilirubin level was slightly elevated at his 3 month check up. I was dreading the appointment today because I feared they would want another blood draw and holding Liam for that was traumatic last time. I certainly did not want to have to go through that again.

We got a lot of good news today. Firstly, his liver is completely healthy and the specialist has no concerns. Secondly, his weight was 12.8 pounds (5825 grams) and his length is now 24.5 inches (62.2 cm). (They took his weight with his diaper on so we'll see how it compares to his official weigh in next week at his 4 month check up.) The specialist said he seems to be a very healthy boy and he has no reason to see him again. Best of all . . . no new blood work!! We'll have to enjoy this one because the 4 month check up means another round of shots. :(

Our healthy baby boy! (Mami and Papi, look at what he is holding!!)
