We had a busy day yesterday... Langston had two appointments; a four week checkup with the midwife and a hip ultrasound.
At the midwife, all was fine. He just has a little bit of congestion, compliments of his older brother and Kahlil's daycare. But the 'big' news is his weight... He is now 12 pounds, 4 ounces!!! I knew he was approaching the 12 pound barrier but apparently he zipped right by it.
In the afternoon we went to the hospital for a hip ultrasound. The pediatrician wants to make sure there are no hip displasia problems from his breach birth. The ultrasound found no issues - everything is where it should be. yeah!
And finally, a mystery was solved. Shortly after coming home from the hospital, Mom and I noticed a little red mark on Langston's wrist. It went a way after a day or two so I didn't worry about it. Then the mark came back, but I was pretty sure it was on the other wrist... but maybe I was mistaken. Then a mark showed up on both wrists. Now I'm starting to get a little interested in what's going on. Then I see a mark further up on his arm... now I'm getting concerned so I go to Jay. He looks at it and asks if Langston bit himself... AH-HA!!!! He solved the mystery... Langston likes to hang out with his arms and head up on our shoulders and while up there he often sucks on his hands and wrists. Apparently he's giving himself hickeys. Crisis avoided.
Happy Birthday Langston... one month old today.
