First doctor's appointment for Colin

The pediatrician wanted to see Colin in his office only a few days after we were discharged. It's standard practice, basically just to see how he's adjusting to life outside of the hospital. Dave's aunt works in the pediatrian's office we chose, so when we came in, she made a huge fuss over Colin.

We had to strip him down to weigh him. Once Dave got him on to the table, and naked, he started to projectile pee! Dave was quick though and caught it with the diaper! It was truly impressive. He weighed 6.123 and was 6.112 when we left the hospital, so he had gained a little weight. The doctor said from now on, he wants him to be gaining an ounce a day so we can get him back up to his birth weight quickly.

The doctor listened to his heart beat and tested some reflexes, end the appointment with saying that Colin looks "AWESOME!" That made me feei really good. Before we left, he asked us about feelings, sleep patterns and some other behavioral questions. Looks like he's right on track. Our first week as parents was great. I'm looking toward to getting to know this little guy as he grows up. :)
