Another week down

Baby Update
Another week, another good prenatal appointment.  We had our 21-week appointment on Monday.  My cervix is down slightly, but still in good range.  The baby is growing well and now weighs in at 18 ounces--just two ounces shy of Truman's birth weight.  We also had a great appointment and sonogram with Truman at 21 weeks as well.  It was sometime between then and 23 weeks that things went south.  So, keep your fingers crossed that we can get past these next couple of weeks without a repeat.

Truman Update
Truman had his 5.5 year weight check on Monday as well.  He weighed in at 35.3 pounds and 41 inches tall -- still below the charts for his age, but acceptable progress.  His pediatrician is once again suggesting in-patient feeding therapy, but by this age, that means in-patient without mom and dad for at least two weeks, then only once daily visits from mom and dad for the next three or four weeks.  He's going to do some research for us to see what the options are.  But, I've already decided he is simply too young for that sort of time away from us.  We'll just have to keep slugging through for now.

For fun, I thought I would share a couple of recent Trumanisms:

Upon seeing his brother's 20-week sono: "Why he is naked?"

While looking at a small bust of Mozart he insists on keeping on his nightstand: "Mozart wrote boootiful music, but then he died.  Daddy and me didn't get to meet him."
