1 week



Joshua had his first doctor's appointment on Wednesday. It was his first outing. He now weighs 6 lbs, 14 oz. That's a 2 ounce gain since birth. He's also grown 1/4 inch. He has met all the well-baby goals for 1 week (i.e. he poops and pees the way he's supposed to). He's eating every 2-3 hours for the most part, except for the 3 hour window when he eats about every 1/2 hour. We're still working on having more wake time during the day. It seems he just likes to sleep when the sun is out. I'm going to take him on a walk today and see how that works for him.

Besides being sleep deprived, Brian and I are both doing well. Brian went back to work on Sunday so it's just been Joshua and me at home. Brian does what he can in the evening and at night but since I'm breastfeeding he's limited to changing diapers and walking Joshua to put him to sleep.
