Today we took Cooper to his weekly check-up, and everything went well! He has gained 7 ounces in the last week, and now weighs 7 lbs 12 oz. It's normal for babies to gain a half ounce to one ounce every day, so Cooper is gaining weight perfectly. All those 3 am feedings are paying off. :) His blood pressure looked great, which we're also happy about.
The best news received today is that Cooper qualified for the synagis shot, which is a preventative shot to protect high-risk babies and children from RSV. We're sooo happy that he qualified for it (and that our insurance will cover it, because the retail is about $2000 per dose). He qualified for 5 doses, and he should receive the first dose next month. Synagis should greatly reduce the risk of him getting RSV this winter! We're feeling very blessed.
