Tristan had his first doctors appointment yesterday. He is doing wonderfully! My little man has gained almost a whole pound in just ten days. When we left the hospital he weighed 7 lbs, 11 oz. Yesterday, he was 8 lbs, 10 oz. Wow! And his head circumference was 15 inches. No wonder none of the hats that I made fit him well...
He does have some gunked up eyes, but we are reassured that it is completely normal, just the tear ducts clearing out.
Tristan is the best baby. He eats well, sleeps well. He hardly ever full-out cries, although he does fuss sometimes. I can't complain about night-time wake ups because they are really easy as well. He gets up about three times over the course of the night. Feed him, change him, read to him for a few minutes and he goes right back to sleep. I'm not up for hours on end trying to soothe a fussy baby. It's quite wonderful.
Developmentally he seems to be doing really well, too. He is getting really good at holding up his head and looking around. I think it might be time for some tummy time soon.
I am so glad that he is growing so well. It is a little sad to realize that he is growing so quickly, but I am mostly happy that he is healthy and on track.
As for me, I have lost 20 of the 30 pounds I gained during my pregnancy. Just 10 more to go until I am at my pre-pregnancy weight. I am starting Weight Watchers again tomorrow and hopefully in a few days when I am feeling more up to it I will start working out again, too. Also, aside from the rash and the UTI, I am perfectly healthy. :)
