Maxton's First Doctors Appointments

We took Maxton in on Monday for a weight check. I was a little concerned that the peeing and pooping had declined so we went in a few days early to get checked. When we left the hospital he was weighing 8 lbs 15 ozs and at the Doc appt on Monday he weighed in at 8 lbs 9 ozs. So a little bit of a drop. My breast milk officially came in on Sunday/Monday so that is what we were waiting on. Today, his Doc appt went very well. He gained 4 ozs in 2 days which is really good the NP said. She would have been happy with a half an ounce. So we're looking good, peeing and pooping have Definately increased!! We go back next Wednesday for another check up. We're negative on Jaundice as well.

Other than Maxton having his days and nights confused at the present time, everything has been great. Getting use to the lack of sleep and no schedule. Hopefully in due time.

Great news. Hopefully he will get the day/night thing figured out so you can get some zzzz's. Hope you enjoyed your birthday!
