Baby Dylan had his first well-baby visit today, 12/28. I was off work yesterday and today, since Laura can't drive-I took them. He weighs more than his birth weight, which is the goal for all babies after two weeks. Since he's only 8 days old, this is a great thing.
He now weighs 5 pounds 10.5 ounces. Yes, I had to add on that half ounce-it makes a difference.
He was so good for the doctor. Laura made sure she fed him right before we left the house so he'd be satisfied and sleepy. It did the trick. He didn't even hardly stir when I had to undress him down to his diaper. The second the doctor took off his diaper, he peed straight up in the air and right on her. I guess that's the breaks when you are in that line of work. Dr. Wilson said that he's doing great!
Jeff told me while they were still in the hospital, that he'd run up to the store and get some clothing for Dylan. This is where I HAD to step in! His Aunt Lori and I went out and bought all new clothes for him in preemie and newborn, as all he had was 0-3 months. He's so tall that the preemie stuff fits him around the chest, but if it's footed-he gets ticked off since he can't straighten out his legs. The newborn stuff hangs off his sides, but is long enough. The 0-3 month stuff-we won't even think about yet.
The outfit we put him in today is too big for him, but he'll be filling it in soon enough. It was a onesie that I got him with a pair of powder blue pants. The onesie it came with was short sleeved, so Aunt Lori got him a powder blue hoodie to match. I think he looks like a rapper!
Love, Aunt Linda
