02/08/10 Monday Weight Check

Monday morning we get up and take Eli back to the Pediatrician's office for another weight check. We had an uneventful Sunday, kicking back to watch the Superbowl, and hang out with neighbors. Eli seems to be eating a little better but we're still a little concerned because he still hasn't perked up yet like we expected.

At the Pediatrician's we find out that Eli has lost about 2 tenths of an ounce. Not really good but also not really all that bad either. Dr. Shlafer explains to us that all kids are different and some just rebound later. He describes it as a bell curve with kids rebounding on the 4th day through the 6th day. Eli is probably just a late bloomer and his weight is pretty static so we're hoping we've reached the end of the weight loss rollercoaster. Dr. Shlafer asks us to bring Eli back on Tuesday for another weight check before the clinic opens.

Today is also day 6 of accounting close for work so I've got some responsibilities to take care of at the office. After our appointment I head down to MRG to get to work. We're working on January close and there have been a ton of changes for 2010 so there's a lot of stuff to update. I'm expecting a long day. We wrap up our preliminary close process around 10:30pm and I head home feeling like I accomplished something for the day.

When I get home Patricia tells me Eli had a great feeding earlier in the day which is a big relief. We're feeling a little better and we're hopeful his weight will increase at tomorrow's weight check.
