Luke had his 1 month checkup today. He weighed in at a healthy 12 pounds 12 ounces and 22 1/2 inches long. Still in the 95+ percentile for weight and about 75% for height. He also had his 2nd HepB vaccination and he did not enjoy that.
Otherwise we discussed with the doctor trying to work on spreading out his feeding schedule to every 3 hours during the day and working on 4 or more at night. Right now he's still closer to every 2 hours during the day unless he takes a long nap and only goes about 3 hours at night. We also discussed my plans for continuting breastfeeding and pumping when I go back to work. We'll discuss again at his 2 month appointment which is the week before I return to work. That gives me one more month to get us in a routine that will work for us after I go back. Personally, I hope that routine includes more sleeping at night as I'll lose my afternoon nap.
Luke also has a umbilical hernia. It's nothing really to worry about. His belly button just bulges outwards a little, especially when he cries. The doctor said the muscles in the abdomen just haven't closed together yet. It's likely to resolve itself over time.
Other than that not much to report. He looks good and is doing well for a one month old. I will work on getting pictures up soon. I'm sure we've taken some good ones over the last month...

It sounds like Jayla and Luke have something in common. Jayla's hernia still hasn't healed though. I'm pretty sure the doctor will want to talk about surgery at her 3-year appointment. Apparently, they like to "fix it" before they go to kindergarten.
Happy 1 Month, Luke!
Can't wait to see pics!
