Week One Follow Up at the Pediatrician

Our first adventure out of the house together since arriving home on Tuesday was to take Evan to the pediatrician for a one week weight check. With the help of Omi and Grandpa Bob, we were able to shower, eat and leave the house on time.

Evan’s pediatrician was out of the office so we saw one of the doctors who had checked in on Evan twice while in the hospital, Dr. Kane. Upon examination, Dr. Kane told us that Evan was doing all the things he should be and was doing them quite well He weighed 9 pounds, 3 ounces (just 5 ounces less than his birth weight and 3-4 ounces more than when we left the hospital) I guess we were starting to figure this parenting thing out pretty well after all, despite our first few days at home!!

That afternoon was beautiful and we spent some time out on the deck. It was too bright out for Evan’s liking causing him to barely open his eyes at all. While outside, our neighbors came over to meet Evan and to drop off a gift they had purchased for him. The kids were excited to see him and thought he was quite little!

Oh so bright!
