Big Boys!

So you would think that I would be more relaxed the second time around, knowing more and being a bit more experienced....no, not at all. Is it because Derek is so small, or is it that he is the baby and I am babying him, or is it the media freaking people out about swine flu? Whatever it may be, Derek had some congestion the other night and at 8 am the next morning, I was calling the pediatrician's office. Had an appointment for 10.

I love our pediatrician, she is a sweetheart. We are hardly there (which is good), but when we are there she takes very good care of us. We were just there a week ago, she was very happy with Derek's progress and growth that she didn't want us back for another month. Well, we made an appearance a week later.

He checked out perfectly fine!! The funny part of this story is that when the nurse put Derek on the scale she started laughing, last week he weighed 8 pounds 14 ounces, at this appointment....9 pounds 14 ounces. A whole pound in 1 week! Oh my God, he is almost 10 pounds!!!!!

When I took the above picture, I thought, he looks small compared to JoJo, but not THAT small! I have such big boys! Thank God for c-sections!
