Ian has caught up to his sister - not to her current (28 lb) weight but what she weighed when she turned 6 months old! He weighed 16lb 2oz this morning with only a dry diaper, which means he's gained almost 7 lbs since his 4 month doctor appt (4/20) and puts him up at the 25th percentile! I am sure the doctor will be pleased when he has his 6 month appt next week (6/24). I called this morning to request to be on a cancellation list for the urologist, and they gave me an appt one month from now (which is one month later than our original appt but one month earlier than our rescheduled one). It's at a different location, but it's only a few minutes farther away. I am glad the suspense as to whether or not he'll need surgery will end in July rather than in August. The other bit of happy Ian news would be that this morning his first nap was 75 minutes long!! Wow! Most of his naps are still 30 minutes long, but I have hope they won't stay that way when he has a longer one now and then. :-)
We started trying to have children in May 2002. After pursuing fertility treatments, domestic, and international adoption, our daughter Nadia Renee was born on 6-24-08 (at 36w4d). IVF #2 resulted in Ian Alexander, who was born on 12-12-09 (at 34w3d). Oliver Elliot (IVF #3) was born on 8-7-12 (at 31w6d)! Three other pregnancies (in 2005, 2007, and 2013) ended in miscarriage. Our family is complete! We are so thankful for our three miracles!
