This afternoon, David, David Jr, and I loaded up into the car and headed for the pediatricians office for our one week visit (a few days early). The hospital pediatricians really wanted David Jr checked out today due to his 7% weight loss in the first 36 hours and his jaundice, so off we went... and nervous. All weekend, David and I would look at him and question if he was getting more yellow or less yellow and were getting concerned because he was having to be woken up for EVERY single feeding. Well, our worries were squashed today while at the doctor (can I say how much I love this office). David Jr. weighed in at 7 lbs, 12 oz (up 5 ounces from Saturday morning at 4am) and the doctor's comment about the jaundice - "yeah, he has some jaundice but nothing I would have worried about." David Jr. also measured 20.5 inches long, showing a 1.5 inch increase since Thursday - NOT POSSIBLE. We are now assuming, that David was born 7 lbs, 14 oz and 20.5 inches long - Carly's exact measurements too.
We were also cleared during this visit to not return next week, but to wait until our 1 month appointment!!
