Caleb had few little bumps in the road before coming home from the hospital. We noticed after his circumcision that he wasn't peeing. The nurses said that he had been so we listened to them. He kept spitting up every time I fed him which had us really worried. Weigh loss is a given with a newborn but not if its a 10% loss. Caleb had now lost 9% and we were getting concerned. He now weighted only 6lbs 6oz. They ran some blood work and even did an x-ray to make sure he had no blockages. Everything came back clear. On Wednesday early morning I had just fed him when he let out a blood curdling scream and I didn't know what was wrong. He had peed all over me, the bed, and himself. We are quite certain that this was the first time he had gone since before the circumcision on Monday. After that he started spitting up less, and began to gain a little weight. When we left the hospital on Wednesday afternoon he had already gained .6oz so he was 6lbs 6.5oz. The following morning he had is first pediatrician appointment. Caleb ate amazing all through the evening he was home. He slept better and acted like he was all better. The weighted him at the doctors the next morning and he had already gained a few more oz. He was now weighing 6lbs 9oz and we were thrilled! He got a all clear from the doctor. Now a week old he had his 2nd pediatrician appointment and he weighs 7lb 4oz. Hes growing soo fast!
