Two Week Update

Declan had his two week check-up this past Wednesday. He weighed 8 lbs 7 oz and is 20 inches long. He only has 3 more ounces to go to be back at his birth weight...close enough that we were able to drop one of his nighttime feedings!! We are all enjoying the extra sleep! A couple of pictures from the last week are posted below.

Update

Declan had his first Doctor's visit on Monday. He had lost down to 7 lbs 9 oz while in the hospital but as of Monday had gained back 3 oz!! We're hoping he'll be back to his birth weight by his 2 week appointment. The first few days home have been great and he has been such a good baby! We're keeping our fingers crossed that it continues.
