Mar. 15, 2007 - Noah is growing!!!
I have great news! The nurse from WIC came today to do a 'routine' checkup on Noah since he is receiving WIC assistance and they consider him 'high risk'. Well....dum-de-de-dum-de-dum.... (that is supposed to be drum rolls...) he weighed in at a whopping 12lbs 7 oz.! I was pretty excited (that's a little understated). It may seem small to all of you for a five month old, but to me it is a HUGE thing! He only weighed 10lbs 13 oz. two weeks ago. He's gained almost two pounds in two weeks! Wa-ho for Noah! He is now just barely off the chart in his weight and he is at about the 20 to 25 percentile for his height and his head circumference is right smack dab in the middle of normal. He's doing awesome and I think that within a month he'll actually be on the charts for his weight! I don't care if he is low on the chart , just so long as he is on it. My other two boys were always only in the 20 to 25 percentile for their weight so I'm happy if he only gets to like the 10th percentile. You can barely tell he even had failure to thrive. He is 'developmentaly' right about where he needs to be. In fact, it wouldn't surprise me at all if he is crawling within a month or two. He was actually scooting his body forward today, and he did it in front of the nurse (she was 'very' pleased)! It's just so awesome how our body works, and it's even more awesome how the Lord can heal! It can be so complex, one little imbalance of electrolytes and your whole body reacts! All we had to do was fix his imbalance, change formulas and BAM off he went! The Lord sure has heard and answered our prayers. He 'is' a great and marvelous God!
