Heavyweight

Our little one is packing on the pounds. Yesterday, I weighted him at 8lbs 14oz, prior to our feeing. He got 3 oz from the feeding (yea!) and tipped the scale post-feeding at 9lbs 1oz. He has graduated out of most newborn clothes. He has a long torso and short legs, so newborn pants still fit. Throughout my pregnancy his legs always measured about a week behind in length, while he would measure overall two weeks ahead (with a head circumference of 3+ weeks ahead). My husband would tease me that we were haing a bobble head baby.

He hasn't hit any new milestones this week, but is having a growth spurt. He nursed for almost two hours last night before bed. He then slept for six hours. Also, causing me some worry is that he hasn't pooped in over 36 hours and he's usually a frequent pooper. If there is no movement by this afternoon I plan to call the pediatrician. Any thoughts or advice?
