This week we experienced our first taste of new parent paranoia! When I was rubbing the back of Anderson’s neck while feeding him, I felt a little lump. Dave checked it and felt it too! It moved a little bit and was about the size of a lentil bean. We got worried. I called the doctor the next morning and he was able to get in that day! Yeah!
Of course it was nothing. Apparently sometimes lymph nodes on the back of the head are more pronounced. The nurse practioner that examined him did check to make sure he was not sick with an earache or chest issues (which could cause the lymph node to be swollen) and everything was fine!
The fun part of taking him to the doctor is that he did get weighed and he is up to 9 pounds!! Probably within the next 1-2 weeks he will have doubled his weight!! Our growing boy!
