Doctor's visit today

Zachary had his first doctor's visit today and we had a good report...

He had lost 9.1% of his birthweight in the first two days after birth, but he has already gained it all back! He is definitely a good eater. He has been sleeping really well too - we've had stretches of 3 or 4 hours at night already.

He has a couple of little pimply things on his belly - the doctor thought there was a possibility it is a staph infection, so she gave us a prescription for some ointment and took a culture. We'll find out in a couple of days if it is staph.

Later this afternoon he lost his umbilical cord stump, so he is a little ahead of the curve there too.

Other than that, we have just been eating and sleeping!

Glad to see he's getting plenty of smooches.
