6 Week Growth Spurt

I am happy to report that Collin is not only eating but he is in the middle of his 6 week growth spurt. Figures that a baby that shows up ON his due date would start his growth spurt the day he turned 6 weeks (yep, he has been doing this since Monday). He wants to eat every 2 - 3 hours and let's me know exactly when it is time. He can be sleeping one minutes and then crying 5 minutes later because it has been 2 or 3 hours since he ate last. This does include the early morning hours...again. So much for sleeping through the night like he was last week.

He weighed 9 lbs and 2.4 oz. yesterday and weighed 9 lbs and 4.5 oz today. He should be gaining at least 1/2 an ounce right now and is already gaining almost 2 ounces in ONE day. Let's see if he keeps this up. I bet he is trying to catch up to Matthew since he heard some of us talking about how small he looked next to him. :)

I love that he is eating sooo much but sorry that you are not getting enough rest! but he is also a very happy boy now that the thrush is gone and he can eat, eat and eat. Love, GrandmaH
