Beckam Update

We just had another doctor appointment for Beckam to see how he's growing. Verdict: he's a little weed. He weighs 12 lbs 4 oz now (54th percentile), and is 24 inches (81st percentile). He was so cute and "talked" and smiled the whole time. The doctor was impressed with how vocal he was.

Since Beckam was born they have been able to hear a faint heart murmur. On a scale of 1-6 (6 being the worst) Beckam's murmur is a 1. However, because both mine and Adam's families have horrible track records in the heart department (4 heart attacks, 1 pacemaker and a whole bunch of missing beats), the doctor ordered an EKG. They stuck the little stickers all over his tummy and hooked him up to the machine to track what his heart was doing. He squirmed the whole time so everything kept falling off....it took forever! The preliminary EKG came back normal, thank heaven, and we are still waiting to hear the final word. Things look good though and we are very relieved.


Everything else checked out just fine! He's such a little sweetheart, we couldn't love him more!
