Henry - The Stats

Weight - 13 lbs 7.5 oz (JD was 13 lbs 8.5 oz)& 79th percentile
Height - 25 inches (JD was 23.5) & 95th percentile
Head - 97th percentile

Henry still has his two holes in his heart, but they haven't gotten any bigger, and the cardiologist says he doesn't need to see him back for 2 years. He still expects them to close on their own, but doesn't think they will cause problems if they do not. Adam got some blood sent off to begin the genetic testing for HCM (totally unrelated to Henry's murmur), and so the visits were both positive. I asked the pediatrician how to make Henry sleep... we were hoping for a gin vs. bourbon kind of recommendation, but she actually didn't have much to offer. Ol Hen goes to sleep pretty easily, he just doesn't stay asleep, and there's not a whole lot we can do about that.

However, Henry chose last night to go 10 hours with only one time waking up in the middle. And seeing as how I also went to bed at 8:30, it was wonderful. And today he is taking a record long nap in his crib. We've been trying to get him to nap there instead of just the swing or on us, and today he finally gave in. Whoo hoo!!!
