First Doctor’s Appointment

Monday, 10 December 2007 by Jacob Tomaw

Jonah went to the doctor today for his 1st week checkup. He is 8lb 1oz (8.0625lb, 129oz), 20.5in, and his head is 36.25cm around now. That makes him a pretty middle of the road baby compared to others. Except for his weight for length ratio, that is between the 5th and 10th percentiles. No concerns though. Doctors continue to be amazed with how well Jonah and Joscelynn are doing.

We were keeping detailed records of feeding and diapers, but Dr. Chang did not seem to concerned with counts so we are not any more. Just need to get him up to birth weight by his visit next week. That should not be a problem as he is expected to gain half to a full ounce every day.

Also, you can find more pictures in this set.
