We took Brayden for his first pediatrician visit today. He got the Hepatitis B shot which he did not enjoy, but overall the doctor said that everything was looking great. When we left the hospital he weighed 8 lbs, 1 oz which is 6 oz less than his birth weight. They usually lose weight in their first 5-6 days then start to gain it back. Today he weighed 8 lbs even (55th percentile) and the doctor is expecting that he will only go up from this point since he's eating so well. Brayden was only 21 1/4 inches long (85th percentile) today as compared to the 22 inches that he was at birth. He shrunk because he lost his conehead!!! :)
We could not have asked for a better baby these past few days at home! He woke up at 1:00, 2:00, 4:30 and 7:30 during the first night which wasn't too bad. Last night, he only woke up at 2:00, 6:30 and 9:00. We actually went in to check on him several times because we hadn't heard a peep from him. He was all curled up and fast asleep! I know that this will not last, but we are definitely enjoying the sleep when we can get it!!
We are going on our first road trip this weekend to Wadsworth to hang out with the family. Brayden is looking forward to meeting everyone!
