Baby X had his second post hospital visit with his cardiologist Wednesday. Everything seems to be fine. At each appointment they've done an EKG and an echocardiogram. His doctor says everything looks like it did just after the procedure. He said we might need to do a balloon valvuloplasty again in infancy. Since babies grow so rapidly up until about 4-6 months he'll still need to see us rather frequently until Baby X is about 6 months old. Last time there was 2 1/2 weeks between appointments, this time he said 4-6 weeks and scheduling wise, it'll be almost the full 6 weeks. He was glad to see how big Baby X has been getting. He seems like a chub to us now, but I typed his new weight from this visit (11 lbs. 10 oz) into a growth chart calculator online and he's in the 25-50th percentile. So not as huge as he seems. :) And he's 23.4 inches tall, which also isn't as tall as we'd suspected.
He goes to his regular pediatrician on Monday for his two month check-up.
