1st Doctor's Appointment

We had our first doctor's appointment on Friday. Denver's pediatrician is Dr. McKercher (Dr. McKercher was also daddy's pediatrician, and we go to Church with him). When we were at the clinic Denver was a very good boy and only cried a little when we stripped him naked to weigh and measure him. He weighed 7 lbs. 1 oz., so he's above birth weight; which doesn't always happen in 6 days! His length on the other hand was down to 20 inches instead of 20.5, so not sure if the hospital or the clinic measured right. :) Since he's doing so well with everything Dr. McKercher said we don't have to go back for 2 weeks. Mommy is still doing good and so is Daddy, although we're both pretty tired. The nights are going better than the first two. Daddy usually gives him a bottle between 11pm and 2am and then I get up a nurse him around 3-4am and then he's usually up around 6a.m. and then will go back down for a little while again. He's been more alert during the days and easier to keep up so he sleeps better at night, but today we had a sleepy day so we'll see how it goes tonight. Thank you for all your continued thoughts and prayers!
