We finally got in to see the lactation consultant here in Tyler. Thank goodness, she said I was doing everything right and Jonah was getting enough to eat. She said it was normal for babies to be back at their birth weight at about 2-3 weeks old and it's having to do with my milk causing engorgement the first week, then it levels out to what the baby needs afterwards. But in 5 days, since we saw the Doctor, he has gained and now weighs 8lbs. 6.8oz. Woo hoo! I knew he was getting a little rounder
Afterwards, we had lunch and I heard his gas and knew I needed to change him. So once we got in the car, I started changing him and before I could get a diaper under his bottom, he shot projectile poo onto my jeans and the carseat. I tried to wipe most of it off, and get the new diaper on but before I coould- he started peeing everywhere. Thank goodness I had a wipe on his peepee. Haha. So then I got the diaper on, and he pooed again!!! So I had to put on another diaper and change his onesie. He was screaming the whole time. It wasn't funny then, but it's hilarious now. This is how he looked afterward- so upset!
Oh yeah, I forgot to write on here that Jonah FINALLY lost his umbilical cord on Saturday. So he had it for 18 days. I am so glad it's gone, because now we can actually put him in the bath tub!
