Today was our first visit to the doctor - Dr. Lana as everyone calls her - and it went great. Jack is back up to 7 lbs. 14.5 oz. which is right where he should be since most babies lose weight after they are born and it takes about two weeks for them to get back to where they were. Dr. Lana commented that Jack is very strong - he demonstrated his strength for her by rolling over from his back to his side. All in all, he took the visit quite well. There were no prolonged crying sessions and the pacifier seemed to do its job while he was being poked and prodded. I would like to say that Dr. Lana was very patient with me and my list of neurotic questions about whether or not his behaviors were normal, if the formula was okay, etc., etc. My husband, however, thought it was hilarious how much I overthought everything and got a good laugh out of my anxiety. Well, now it's just me, Justin, and Jack. It's a little scary to think that we are out here on our own now, but I have a feeling that things will slowly start to become more comfortable and routine. Just keep us in your thoughts and prayers. We go back to see Dr. Lana at his two month milestone on the Monday after Thanksgiving.
