Today was our one week check up with our pediatrician. We were a little stressed about the whole thing because we haven't been anywhere with William and weren't sure about the feedings and timing of getting there. It all worked out fine.
We found out William had gained back all the weight he lost in the first few days. When we left the hospital, William had gone down to 8 pounds. Five days later, William is back up to 8 pounds 8 ounces. The doctor was very happy about this - she told us they like to see babies gain back to their birth weight by the end of the second week. William is already past his birth weight at the end of one week!
The doctor let us know because William is gaining weight so well, we don't have to wake him up for feedings every three hours and we can use the pacifier without worrying about him missing a feeding. YEAH! Everything else was looking good and we were asked to come back at 4 weeks. Our next appointment is February 23.
In other news today, the Grandparents McGarry left this afternoon. This makes us sad and a little nervous to be just the three of us without any backup from Grandpa and Grandma. It was nice to have them here. John and Grandpa got almost all the plumbing in the basement completely done. The plumbed the shower, sink for the bathroom and put in another laundry tub in the workshop in just two days. WOW!
