Hi everyone–Griffin had his second checkup with the pediatrician yesterday so I thought I’d give you the stats

• He’s 5 weeks and 2 days old today (on his daddy’s 40th birthday.)
• He’s 11 lbs 5.5oz (born 8lbs 9oz)
• He’s 23.5 in long (born 21.5 in)

That puts him in the 90th percentile for weight and length for his age.

Good news was that this the candida thrush infection in his mouth looks better than I thought. The white patches on his upper gums that I thought were thrush are actually gum cartilage. (no wonder they didn’t get smaller after all my efforts!) so the thrush IS actually clearing up pretty well.

He got his Hepatitis B vaccination yesterday (didn’t like it, but the storm clouds cleared pretty quickly…)

He hasn’t smiled at us yet but should any day now! he’s seems to be sleeping 5 hours at one stretch at night pretty reliably now. All for now! Will keep you posted.
