1st Doctor's Appointment

We were up and adam early this morning for our first trip to the pediatrician. We arrived and got checked in. I thought it was funny because there were three kiddos there and all of their names started with M. It seems to be a popular letter these days I guess! We went back to the room and got settled. The primary reason for this appointment is to check the baby's weight and jaundice levels. We passed both with flying colors! He had no problem at all with jaundice which is great since it is extremely common in newborns. Also, most newborns lose up to 10% of their weight in their first week of life then gain back up to their birth weight by their 2 week appointment. We are happy to report that apparently we have a super eater! Micah weighed 6 lbs 8 oz at birth. When we left the hospital on Sunday he was at 6 lbs 4 oz and then today, just two days later, we are up to 6 lbs 9 oz. So he is already back above his birth weight. What a blessing! We have been working hard at the feeding and sleeping so it is nice to see that it pays off! Here are a few pics from the morning:

Micah is just learning to suck his thumb. He makes it in there sometimes!
