Yesterday we had our appointment at the First Days Clinic. Carter has gained 1/2 ounce since leaving the hospital which is great! He is doing a good job on feeding and his jaundice level is nothing to worry about. His reflexes are all great too. He's just a very healthy baby! We have our first appointment with the pediatrician on Monday. Hopefully he'll be up a few more ounces in weight.
So far, Carter has been doing really well on sleeping, but I'm still not getting much sleep myself. He is eating every 2 hours right now, so sleep has become pretty much non-existent. But it's well worth it! He hasn't been too cranky either. There have only been a couple times when he just wouldn't stop crying. Other than that, he's really a good baby! Hopefully Brent and I can get a good nap in today since my mom will be here. My wonderful mom has taken off a couple weeks of work to help us around here. She's been wonderful--thanks Mom!
Carter got to try out his swing for the first time yesterday and he loved it! He seemed so content just a swingin away!
Here are some other pictures we took yesterday. Enjoy! We are going to try taking our first bath today, so look for pictures of that to come!

I had to do formula, and it was every 4 hours. That was rough enough, so I can't imagine what it's like every 2 hours around the clock!
ReplyDeleteSleep when he does. You need the rest!
In the picture where he's snoozing in his swing, he looks identical to you, but in the pics of him awake, he looks like Brent.
Wild how that works, isn't it?
