And In This Corner…

… weighing in at 9 lbs 10 oz, up from 8 lbs 8 oz at birth: Adam “Kobayashi” Kofner.Just got back from Adam’s 2 week doctor visit. Everything seems to be OK. In addition to his massive weight gain, he’s also 21 3/4″ long (tall?), up from a birth length (height?) of 20″.

So if you don’t already know, Adam’s developed this neat little parlor trick we call, ‘Old Faithful.’ It goes like this. He gets hungry. Anat feeds him. He displays additional signs of hunger. Anat feeds him more. He lets out a very wet sounding burp and proceeds to throw up a few gallons of milk.

We self-diagnosed this to be caused by either hyperlactation or plain old reflux. The doctor didn’t necessarily discount these but also suggested, based on Adam’s massive weight gain, that he just might be overeating (eat bubbele eat). For now, the doc suggested that maybe a pacifier will do the trick instead of milk for those times that he just wants a little comforting.

He also told us that we should expect Adam’s daily crying to increase until it peaks at about 3 months. Sweet.
