ETD had his 4 week appointment yesterday. He is now 7 # 14 oz. and he grew an inch. I guess he is eating enough :)
I noticed a sacral dimple (dimple right above his bottom) a few weeks ago and didn't really think that much about it. I see them all the time in premies and we don't treat them unless they are deep and you can't see if it is closed. ETD's looked closed and nothing was said at either of his 2 other appointments (with Drs) So yesterday i asked the nurse practitioner about it. She had finished her assessment, but took him back from me and took another look. Yes he has a dimple (duh) and now we have to have an ultrasound. She said they ultrasound all babies with sacral dimples to make sure the spinal cord is closed. While i think everything is fine, a little something to worry about until Friday.
