Mikey's First Doctor Visit


Today was Mikey's first doctor visit and vaccine. He is up to 7 lb 4 oz. The doctor and nurse were very impressed that he was up from his birth weight after losing 8 oz. We're doing really well and he's a very good baby. He sleeps and eats well and pretty consistently. He is a bit stubborn so we will have lots of battles ahead but couldn't be happier :) I'm feeling good and am up and around the house pretty much how I normally am. I'm not yet vacuuming or lifting things as per the doctor. I'm ready to start making small outings now that bedrest and initial healing are over.

Michael Patrick McGowan 3 (or MP3) if you like...

Mike (new dad) blogging for Jill................................

Today was the day! Little Mikey came out at 8:42am literally kicking and screaming. He was delivered via C-section and both he and Jill did fantastic! He has all his fingers and toes (sorry Jon, no extra toes) and he seems to be in perfect working order.

He came out at 7lbs, 2oz and was 20 and 3/4 inches long. He has some dark brown hair and one heck of a set of lungs. I'm on my way back to the hospital (I had to come home to let out the dogs) so I'll keep the post short and the pictures long.

More to come on the C-section and all the other news fit to print about MP3.
