The visit went SO great. He had lost about 4 oz in the hospital and was down to 6 lbs 7 oz. Well - since we got back from the hospital (Saturday) he has gained an ounce! I guess this is very unheard of, but I tell ya what - it hasn't been easy. ALL I do is feed this kid - every 3 hours - and he has never woken me up because he's hungry. I have to wake him up every time. He is a little angel and is SUCH a great baby. I know it's still super early and he will go through a lot of changes here in the next few weeks, but for now - he is awesome and we couldn't ask for a sweet baby. She even told me I could cut back on feeding him through the night... I can go an entire 5 hours at night time to feed him. CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? I haven't even been a mommy for one week and I get FIVE WHOLE HOURS to sleep tonight... well, that is if he'll let me :)
The rest of the visit went great! He has very, very little jaundice - not enough to even worry about with any supplements. And he pretty much slept through the whole thing :)
Here are pictures from our visit today! Enjoy!

YAY! We gained a WHOLE OUNCE!

Before our doctor visit, Parker spit up all over himself so we decided it would be a great time to give him a little sponge bath :) He smelled SO yummy after it. And he was much happier. Here are some pictures :)

I agree! What a good lookin' baby!
Do you go to Children's Medical Group? That's where we go. I recognized the animals on the wall.
