Yesterday we had another pediatrician appointment to check on his weight gain...and he is up to 6lbs8oz!! My little baby is getting bigger already. So this takes some of the pressure off from sticking to a strict feeding schedule. Waking a sleepy baby in the middle of the night is not as easy as one would think.
Overall things are going well. We did have first trip to the ER earlier this week because C wasn't maintaining a high enough body temperature. At least we didn't have to go to the regular ER with god knows what kind of scummy idiots. Instead we went to the local children's hospital, which was absolutely wonderful. They put him under the warmer for a few hours and ran bloodwork as well as a urinalysis (which required a catheter...I'm not sure if that was more traumatic for me or him). Everything came back fine, so we weren't admitted. We've kept him double swaddled most of the time since then.
We also had his newborn photos taken this morning and I can't wait to see the proofs. As I expected, C wasn't thrilled when we tried to place him on his tummy, but I think we got some really good shots anyway.
