First doctor's appointment

We took O for his first doctor's appointment this morning. Everything is good. He's still a bit jaundice, but is getting pinker by the day, and weighs in at 7 lb 2 oz. That's 2.5 oz down from his birth weight, but 5 ounces up from when he left the hospital (all babies lose weight right after birth).

Last night he slept for arond 4-5 hours, twice! Very nice. I think it's the sheapskin blanket a very dear friend brought over.

We're starting to settle into a routine of sorts. Hopefully we'll start exploring in the next day or two. Holly's healing very well from the section, and we actually walked to the clininc this morning for the checkup. There is a lot of people we want to see soon, and our apartment isn't very conducive to big gatherings, so we'll probably have to start heading out instead of staying in.

Congratulations guys on your adorable son. Glad to hear that everything is going great. Hopefully if our little "pickle" ever decides to make an apperance we will be saying the same thing. I hope to meet the little guy soon and I know the grandmas are probably already planning a get together to show off the "cousins". Anyway Best wishes to the new family and here is to hoping we join you soon ( Really soon I hope) I know Holly understands what Im saying.
Lots of Love
