Baby Update: 4 Month Doctor's Appointment!

So we went to see the pediatrician (who, by the way was in a wheelchair after saving orphans out of a burning building, or playing soccer...one of the two). Nathanial now weighs 17lbs 6 oz and is 27 inches long!!! He's going to be able to take out other babies really soon! The doc was impressed with his growth and overall development. For example, he is now:

1. rolling over
2. grasping things in his hands, which typically go directy to his mouth
3. great head control
4. babbling like crazy!

I was able to provide the pediatrician with the MRI and EMG report. He definitely agreed with neurosurgeon to hold off a bit on surgery. I'm excited about that. He did say that some babies would have already had a fully functioning arm by now with a brachial plexus injury. But, everyone seems hopeful.

We are also trying a few more things for the poopy problem. We are switching from rice cereal to oatmeal, and tonight, we tried prunes. Yes, prunes. We will see what happens tomorrow.

Nathanial also received his 4 month shots and this batch did not go as well as the 2 month batch. He's been more sore, with bigger lumps in his legs and much more irratable. We've been utilizing baby Tylenol and warm blankets. Hopefully, he'll feel better tomorrow.
