So last Thursday Cavin turned 3 weeks old! Can't believe it! He got to meet his new pediatrian on Wednedsay. We had to switch because the first pediatrician didn't think there was anything wrong with Cavin projectile vomiting and spitting up a ton, sometimes up to 8 times after feedings. The new pediatrician diagnosed Cavin with reflux and sent us to get an ultrasound done to make sure he didn't have pyloric stenosis: a disorder in which the muscle in the lower part of the stomach, called the pylorus, builds up and blocks the flow of food into the small intestine. Thankfully that is NOT the case, Cavin just has really bad gastric reflux.
Anyways, here are his three week stats!
Length: 21 and 1/4 inches! He's already grown an inch!
Weight: 7 pounds 11 ounces. We're working on gaining more...but its hard when he spits up most of what he eats!
