On Thursday we went to Hastings to visit the ENT Doctor for Nathan's ear check up and Jonathan's newborn screening. It was a bit of an ordeal as the doctor got hung up with another procedure and we had to wait around for nearly and hour and half just to have a two minute look in Nathan's ears...but all was good so he is clear now for 6 more months.
As far as Jonathan was concerned he passed his hearing test just fine. While we were there we met up with Karla and the boys to bring them to stay at Grandma Schlatter's for the weekend. We had quite the van full with Nathan, Jonathan, Erik and Ben but they all traveled well and we reached home without any incidents.
On Friday we had Jonathan's six week checkup in Smith Center....he did very well. He weighed in at 9 lbs 10 oz and 23 inches long. That is two pounds more then his birth weight and 2 inches longer then his birth length. Dr. Conant said he was doing very well and was pleased with how he was growing.
Jonathan's lungs were clear and there was no signs of problems from his RSV. We did discover two birthmarks that we hadn't seen before....one is a bright red mark on his back and one is a light brown spot on the inside of his arm by the elbow.
Our next visit will be at four months with Dr. Barnes, though we will have to have shots done at two months sometime. It is amazing how fast he is growing.
