Our little Beckett boy is a whole 2 weeks old now...holy crap where did the time go. I took him in for his 2 week checkup the other day and Dr. Sigg says he's healthy as can be. He is getting bigger...he is now 7 lbs 4 oz and 21 1/2 inches. Poor little baby does have a clogged tear duct though so his eye is constantly watering and getting goopy gunk in it. The only thing we can do for him is massage below his eye to help unclog it. Also, the poor little guy might have to get surgery on his little pee pee when he's 6 months old. Basically it's just pointing the wrong direction. Dr. Sigg says it's a pretty easy procedure...he says at 2 months old he'll be able to tell if it's going to correct it's self, but if it doesn't that's when he'll refer us to a specialist to get their opinion. This makes me super sad cause that's the last thing you want you child to go through especially when they're only 6 months old. We are still watching out for signs of reflux...Dr. Sigg says if he has it the symptoms will start to show up here in the next week or so. But other than those couple of things everything else is looking great.
Beckett is such a good baby he only cries when he's hungry and getting his diaper changed. The only thing that's been a little challenging is that he does get up once or twice throughout the night. I guess we were pretty spoiled with Avrey because she started sleeping through the night at a week old...so it's been a little hard to getting used to that. I don't mind so much getting up the thing that's hard about it is getting him back to sleep.
One thing I was super nervous about having a boy is the whole getting peed on. Well sure enough it has happened. He was only a couple days old and I was changing his diaper during the night. I wasn't really paying attention and all of a sudden I hear "what the...", I looked down and the little guy was peeing and it was aimed right at Dallas. Since then I've tried to really be quick about changing him, but he's caught me only a few other times. I haven't been peed in the face...yet ha ha knock on wood.
