9 days old!

Gavin is already 9 days old today and he had his 1st pediatrician appointment. It went really well! He was born at 6 lbs 10 oz and was down to 6 lbs 4 oz when we got discharged from the hospital. Today he was back up to 6 lbs 8 oz, so he is almost back up to his birth weight! The DR said his color looked great and she didn't see a need to get another test to check on his jaundice because as long as he's eating well and continues to gain weight then it shouldn't be a problem. We also found out the hospital was wrong when they said he was 22" long, turns out he was only 20" long at birth and today he was 20.5". Here is a picture from today!
