Milestones

Born April 19,2010

I had a pretty healthy pregnancy with Max, despite a kidney stone around the 31st week. I had eaten too much calcium and the build up caused the stone. I was 9 days over my due date and was scheduled to be induced. During labor, Max's heart rate was fluctuating up and down so I was rushed to have an Emergency C Section. It was a very scary experience but all was well. He weighed 6llbs 6oz, not quite full term they said, maybe around 36 weeks or so? he was very wrinkly and covered in thick vernix. The low birth weight was probably from the Williams. He had a moderate level of jaundice by the 4th day and was sent home with a belly blanket. He had no trouble feeding/nursing but suffered with a lot of reflux and very colicky. He slept like a log at night, I had him co-sleep with me for the first 6 months. Because of the reflux, he didn't like to be on his belly and lift his head too much, crawling came late too, around 12 months. Max was diagnosed with WS by the FISH test in July, (at 15 months) so we were proactive and contacted Early Intervention/Physical Therapy and Max is walking around today, at 18 months. That was our Goal!
