14-8-2009 - 1 month check up

My mood while writing this blog: Ok

1 month check up: Ty weighed in at a whomping 10 lbs 10 oz..he went from being in the 33rd to the 70th percentile. He is now 22 3/4 inches long! His doc heard a bit of a heart murmur, she is going to monitor it because he didn't have it at his last visit. We found out her has G6PD deficiency (it is an inherited condition in which the body doesn't have enough of the enzyme glucose-6-phosphate dehydrogenase, or G6PD, which helps red blood cells (RBCs) function normally. This deficiency can cause hemolytic anemia, usually after exposure to certain medications, foods, or even infections ) but no worries bmy other children have this blood disorder too, so I was prepared to hear that he had it. He is very alert, a nosey baby..heehee He sleeps great only getting up once during the night. I have to return to work in 10 days and that makes me sad, I am considering taking a week or two off without pay, but well see when that time comes. Due to everything we have been thru with losing Ari I am a bit nervous to leave Ty, he will most likely be staying with my mom until I feel comfortable with him going to daycare. Ari lived to be 2 months and 9 days old, I would love to be able to stay off of work and home with Ty until after the day her turns 2 months and 9 days old, but I don't think that's doing to happen. We are just head over heels in love with this little guy, he is just great!
