Spencer had his 2 week check-up. He did awesome. He is now measuring at 21 inches and almost 8 pounds. Everything checked out great. The hardest part for him was when they drew blood. It was not the prick in the heal that got him crying. It was the amount they needed from him. He had to fill some circles on a piece of paper. The nurse had to keep squeezing his heal to get some more blood out. The first few squeezes were fine but after that he wanted nothing else to do with it. It was funny because he would scream when she would squeeze and when she stopped he stopped and closed his eyes as though he was going to sleep. It seemed like he couldn't make up his mind. After a lot of squeezing the blood was just not coming anymore. So the nurse pricked the other heal. Once again he did not cry at this, he only whimpered when she squeezed it. Thanks goodness at this point all the circles were filled and he was done. Like I said, he did great. Aunt Amber stayed out in the waiting room, we were not sure if she would be able to make it through the whole ordeal. She was there to support him and I think that is why he did so great.
If you can see the display is says 7 pounds 15 ounces.
Here is when we found out he is 21 inches long.
Heart beat checks out great!
After we left the doctor's office, Casey went back to school and Ryanne and Amber took Spencer home. Spencer was off for the rest of the day. He just slept. It ended up being a big day for our "little tamale."
