Today the bean had his first doctor’s appointment. Of course he slept the majority of the 2 hour wait because that is what newborns do but for the rest of the family we were about fed up by the time we finally saw the doctor. Pnut especially got a little antsy towards the end which is understandable because by that time it was lunch and nap time. We went in at 10:30 and didn’t leave until almost 1. Rediculous!!!

Now for the weigh in. Friday when hubby took him to the doctor to find out if he was allergic to milk he weighed 7 lbs. 12 oz. which is what he weighed when he left the hospital. And in just the short time from then and being on his new milk he now weighs 8 lbs. That is about an ounce a day which is great says the doctor. His length and head are still the same size….BIG! Overall he is doing great and developing just like he should. So our next check up is in a month. We went ahead and got pnut scheduled for the same time since he needs to be updated on his shots. With moving back and forth so much in the last year pnut hasn’t seen a doctor in that time frame so he will definitely need an update which he will probably hate us for.

Yes, hubby shaved a mo-hawk into his head. Work hasn’t said anything yet so it shall stay. What do you think?

Oh I almost forgot. The doctor said that his jaundice looks to be clearing up on his own and that we do not have to retest him. I’m so happy. I hate having to see him get his little heel pricked. I have noticed that his eyes are starting to appear more white and that the yellow is going away. So, so happy right now.
