A Baby Bean 2 Update (Updated)

Baby Bean 2 is doing great! He is 12 weeks old today and has been sleeping through the night (8pm to 6am or 9pm to 7:30am) for about 3 weeks now. He is so relaxed and just a generally happy baby. We had some trouble with his spitting up and had an ultrasound done to check for Pyloric Stenosis. Results: Everything looks great! We have been putting rice cereal in his bottle for about 3 weeks and he has gotten so much better. We also had to have an echo cardiogram done at the Children's Hospital to check a slight heart murmur the doctor heard and all it is is the opening in his heart that all babies are born with has not fully closed yet. Most close within a couple days of being born but some don't close for a couple months. All we have to do is have a followup echo cardiogram done at 6 months to check that it has closed. So, good news all the way around. :) Baby Bean 2's heart echo results came back and he is just fine. Everything is structurally as it should be. The little whole in his heart from birth is still slightly open so as mentioned before we will have a follow up echo done at 6 months. Yea for good news!!!

At his 2 month check up he was weighing 12lb 8oz and measuring 24 1/2 inches long. That was a 10oz and 1 1/2 inch gain from his 1 month check up. Next appointment, March for 4 months.



Now, look at this face, I'm in Love!!! And he loves his cousin Lily too!

Oh, he is SO CUTE!!! I wish I could hold him and kiss that sweet little face! He is smiling up a storm! It generally happens that 2nd babies are more laid back and easy going and generally happy. I think it may be something to do with our being more relaxed the 2nd time around.. more sure of ourselves as parents.

He's a sweetie pie! : )

I love his smile! How does BB1 (Baby Bean 1) like having a little brother to help with?
Keep us posted on his heart. Glad his checkup went well overall!
