First Doctor's Appointment

Evan had his first doctor's appointment on Monday morning. When we left the hospital on Friday, they left the clamp on his umbilical cord because it was not as dry as they would have liked. So we had to go have it checked out and get it removed.

Dr. Arquisola, Evan's pediatrician, is great. His weight was down to 7 lbs 14 oz as expected. His cord is fine and his circumcision is healing well. He is slightly jaundice so we were instructed to spend some sun time every morning and also wake him up for feedings every 3 hours (last night he was on a 2 hour schedule!) to clear that up. Evan also got his first shot. Mom didn't handle that one too well. It took her almost 2 hours to finally have a sigh of relief after we got home! Dad might have to be in charge for the 2 month shots since there are quite a few.

Sun time with Mommy...his changing table is right by a huge window that gets morning sun.

Why are you taking me out on the coldest day in Texas so far this winter???
