Charlie is already 2 weeks old! I took him in for his second check-up and he's doing great. He already weighs an impressive 8 lbs, 12 oz (up to the 48th percentile, from the 25th percentile at 1 week), and is 21.25 inches long (68th percentile). He has a minor thrush infection in his mouth, so we'll be doing anti-fungal drops four times a day -- I'm sure that will be fun -- but other than that, he's totally healthy!
I told the doctor that I had been hesitant to give Charlie a pacifier because I didn't want to mess up the breastfeeding. I think he showed great restraint when he managed not to laugh out loud and just said "given his weight gain, I wouldn't worry about confusing him with a pacifier." So Charlie and I are thrilled since he LOVES the pacifier and just a little "hit" on it can calm him down instantly!

I can't believe Charlie is getting so big!!! And I also can't believe that tomorrow is your actual due date:) What an AWESOME baby boy!
Charlie knows he has to get caught up quickly! Ellie is going to be expecting a partner in crime soon!
Wow! Way to go, Mommy! That is just awesome. I hope the thrush clears up soon... but it clearly isn't slowing him down at all!
