Weight Check....
Charlie has still been spitting up quite a bit. Nick and I were concerned with the amount he actually spits up every day. Just last week he also started having mattery eyes. We just thought it was his clogged tear ducts. I called our Pediatrician to express my concerns and she wanted us to bring him in. She checked his weight, length, eyes and ears. He weighs 14lbs 4oz and was 26 inches tall. He is only in the 5th percentile for his weight and 36th percentile for his length. He is our little peanut. Our pediatrician is concerned with his weight and increased the amount of prevacid we have to give him every day. Poor baby!! Hopefully this will fix his reflux and he will start gaining weight like he should. She checked his ears and he had a double ear infection. That explained the mattery eyes! I guess we should've brought him in sooner. He is now on medicine for his ears too. Hopefully we will see changes in the next week. We go back to the doctor on the 13th. We now have to start going in for weight checks at least once a month until his reflux improves.
