First Doctor's Appointment

Yesterday, Matthew had his first doctor's appointment.  He was supposed to have it on Friday, but they had to cancel because the doctor got sick.  He was 10 days old yesterday and now weighs 7 lbs. 9 oz.  Everything looked great and then since we were already at the hospital, we went ahead and took him to the lab for his 2nd PKU test.  I really hate that test!  It's the one where they prick their foot.  Luckily, Morgan was with me and he took him back there to do it, since they would only let one of us go back with him.



The most traumatic thing for him was when we put him back in his carseat after his appointment.  He is not a huge fan of it yet!  I'm hoping he will get used to it.

I have so much to catch up on with blogging.  I have so many pictures to share and want to post about my hospital stay.  I just can't seem to find the time to sit down and think about it all.  I will get to it eventually!

Matthew is doing great.  He can already hold his head up to turn it from side to side when you're holding him, or when he's laying down he can turn it from side to side.  He does not like a wet diaper at all!  Today, he started crying while I was waiting to pick up the girls and so after I got them, we pulled over in the parking lot and I changed him and fed him.  He doesn't really cry, except when he is wet or hungry, and sometimes when he's getting his clothes changed.

He sleeps good at night, meaning as soon as you feed and change him, he goes right back to sleep.  It's just that he isn't eating a whole lot at one time, so he is waking up every 2 hours.  During the day, sometimes he will sleep up to 3 hours, but it always seems like it's during a time when getting a nap isn't possible.  We will get some sort of schedule going eventually though.  :)
