Growing so fast…

Monday I took Maddox to the doctor. I have been worried about his excessive sweating. He was born with a small heart murmur that had not completely gone away by his 2 week check-up and the doctor told us that it should be totally gone by his 2 month check-up. The doctor said we should just watch for him turning blue when he eats and sweating so naturally when Maddox started to sweat alot I started to worry. I could not wait until his 2 month appointment and just needed that peace of mind. Praise God! Everything is normal and when the doctor listened to Maddox’s heart he did not hear the murmur at all. Just to make sure, he did an EKG and chest X-ray and they were normal too. The doctor told me the reason for the sweating was probably caused by a fast metobalism and the fact that he is just a hot natured baby. No wonder I was always burning up when I was pregnant. I had a little roaster inside of me.

While we were at the doctor they weighed him and he weighed 11 lbs 10 oz. I call him my little hungry, hungry hippo because he always wants to eat and he eats so much. He is growing so fast! Maddox is also so very strong. He has come so close to rolling over from his stomach to his back and he has been holding his head up since the second day he was born. I know that sounds crazy because he is only 5 weeks old but he is seriously a very strong little boy. As you will see from the video of him and daddy playing, he had started to smile and coo, which just melts my heart!
