Doctor Visits

We've visited the doctor 3 times now within two weeks. Art's first doctor visit was the day after we left the hospital and went very well. He gained a few more pounds so he was back up to 7 lbs 2 oz. Almost to his original birth weight! He's still a little jaundiced but his prescription was only to sunbathe a little bit! He's been lying around the house in a diaper ever since. Glad we didn't splurge on newborn clothes...

He's still gaining weight. By the 3rd visit the doctor said we are feeding him well because he is up to 8 lbs. We can let him sleep through the night now (or as long as he'll let us sleep!). The kid doesn't have any problems waking us up at night. It wears on you a little, but we are getting accustomed to the schedule. I don't like it and look forward to gettign REM sleep again, but we are doing ok. We've had 2 rough nights and hope those are over (probably not!).

We've learned that he'll have dimples like his dad!
