First Doctor's Appointment

Ready for our first trip out of the house!

If only he'd sleep like this at night...

Waiting for the doctor

Griffin had his first doctor's appointment on Monday; we are happy to report that Dr. Belter was pleased with his progress in the two short days that we'd been home. Griffin weighed in at 7 lbs/6 oz, which is only 1 oz from his birth weight...the doc commented that this was a good thing, as a lot of babies are still losing (he measured 20 3/4 inches long). After the few hiccups we had in the hospital, it was comforting to see his written report with only one comment from Dr. Belter: "doing great!"

Mommy and daddy, however, decided that we have never felt so many bumps in the road or seen so many crazy drivers as we have in the two whole car rides we've taken with Griffin. On the way home from the hospital, we needed to drop off a few prescriptions...we actually had a debate on the pros and cons of making one turn into Walgreens and sending the written scripts through the drive through window with Griffin in the car. Driving with baby: a newly-discovered parenting stress and one of the very few pluses of having had a c-section (I get to wait to experience it for a few weeks!).
