First Doctors Visit


Everything went great for his first doctor's visit. He was born one week ago at 8 lbs 10 oz and is weighing in at 8 lbs 13 1/2 ozs. The doctor was really proud of his eating. We're still in the honeymoon phase, since he sleeps about 22 hours out of the day. He only wakes up if he's hungry or has a dirty diaper. He sleeps pretty solid for four hour blocks and we've been waking him up to feed him if he goes past that. I think next week, we'll see how long he can go. He definitely puts out the waste. we gave up tracking pees after about 10 a day and he'll give you a solid 4-5 diapers full of poop. We couldn't be happier with the way he is acting. Carter is doing a great job as a mom and we're blessed to have a Kenmore Elite HE3t for laundry since it can hold twenty two full sized towels with each load, it makes laundry a bit more manageable. Here is a rare moment you will see the little man awake and not pooping or eating. (yes that is a pee mat he is on. He has the ability to pee out of the back of his diapers, so we have to always be ready.)
