Today we went in for a doctors visit for Hayden, because Monday is his surgery on his hydrocele. I learned more that if he weren't to have this surgery that he could end up with a hyrenea sometime during his life.
He weighed in at 14 lbs 9 oz and 25 1/2 inches long. He is growing fast!! I did double check Maria's chart at the age Hayden is at and she weighed in at 14 lbs 3 oz and 23 1/2 inches. He is a few ounces heavier but 2 inches taller.
The doctor was tickled pink because Hayden was laughing, smiling and talking to him....

Your baby will start gaining as much as two pounds a month now (slowing down as he gets closer to his first birthday). Your pediatrician will use standard growth charts to track your baby's weight gain, but don't get too hung up on those measurements. As long as your baby has a good appetite and is growing at a steady pace, and your pediatrician says all is well, it doesn't matter what percentile he's in.
This is what babycenter.com had to say. I think they are right on.

Hayden's surgery went well. We left home about 6am and arrived by 6:45. They checked him out and we were ready to go by 7:15. But surgery wasn't until 8:15. He did GREAT, not eating sind 4:45am he was wide awake and having fun. When he would get fussy I would walk with him and then Sheryl got him to go to sleep.
Before he went to surgery I gave him a kiss and he gave me a good smile. When we were able to see him about 10:00am and he finally awoke enough to see things... he gave me another smile. That made me feel good to know that my boy was going to be okay.
We left the hospital about 10:45am and headed home.
It went very smoothly! Thank you Children's Hospital. It was nice seeing how they acted with the other kids there that were getting tubes. They came out and explained to the kids and showed them what was going to happen to them so they wouldn't be scared. It was Nice to see.

He really didn't go that long. Hayden woke me at 3:30 and so around 4:45 I gave him some apple juice. So from 5 until 8:15 he didn't eat. Then he went under so he didn't know much difference until he came to. He was a happy little guy the whole time....
He did much better than I was expecting. Mommy was tired though because Hayden woke every 1 1/2 hours and we've discovered it is from the cold & cough medicine we give him. We've tried two different kind and it does the same thing. Mommy only got 3 hours of sleep that night....
He is back to his normal self except for the cough. That will just take time to get rid of.
