Jim had his first Doctor's appointment on Thursday the 15th. They weighed him everyday in the hospital, and when they checked his weight on Wednesday, it had gone down lower than what they wanted to see. (It's normal for newborns to drop their weight, but they don't like to see them loosing anymore than 10% of their birth weight). It really wasn't that big of a deal - it just meant we had to go to the Doctor on Thursday to get him weighed.
Mark & I got Jim all ready and took him to his first appointment. Jim did great!!! (It took us a minute - we were in the waiting room and the nurse called back for Jim, and we just sat there. It was weird hearing his name being called.)
He had put on a couple of ounces, so all is good! I was a little worried that they were going to tell me that we needed to supplement formula - but that wasn't even brought up! A big sigh of relief for me!
We go back to the doctor on the 26th for his 2 week check-up.
