Our first doctor appointment...

We had our first doctor appointment yesterday. We first met with the lactation consultant to assess his intake and weight. He's doing excellent!! He not only has maintained his birth weight but has eaten his way up to 7 lbs, 9 oz. He is taking in over 2 oz per feeding which is great. Doctor Jenny was very enthusiastic about how well he is doing and unless we are feeling anxious or questions or concerns arise, we'll see her again in 3 weeks.

I had my first Ty blessing on Monday, and a close call yesterday... it's been 21 years since a baby boy peed on me. Oh, just like his cousin Alec! It was pretty funny- I wasn't expecting it at all and I think I reached for a wipe when the next thing I knew, he made a perfect shot right down the front of my tank top. I should've known; he got very quiet and peaceful right before it happened each time.

Our first night home was pretty tough. The longest stretch of sleep either Christian or I got was 30 minutes, although most sleeping periods were only about 10-15 minutes long. By the following night, he woke up 3 times to eat and was a little fussy between each feed. The last two nights, however, he woke up every 3-4 hours to eat, but otherwise slept right through the night. Last night was like clock work. He woke up every 3 hours on the button to eat! So, needless to say, we are very happy with his current sleeping pattern!

We were able to go for a walk yesterday too. It was so nice outside! We love our new stroller and can't wait to go out and explore the neighborhood again sometime soon.
