Our First Doctor's Appointment

On Tuesday, February 15th, we had our first doctor's appointment with Tucker.  Jonathan took off in order to go with us.  The nurse had us take off all his clothes and take him out to be weighed and measured, so we wrapped him in a blanket and went ahead with it.  He was unhappy to say the least - this was a picture we took when we got him back in the room - completely annoyed with us for bothering him!

We had a great report - he was in the 50th percentile for weight and76th percentile in height, he was also 7 lbs, 6 oz (so he lost 10 oz from the hospital), but he was still 21 inches (duh), and was just a little jaundice.  When testing for Jaundice, a 5 on the scale is normal, and anything above this is considered jaundice, but sever is in the high teens.  Tucker was an 8, so they told me to put him in the sun and it would go away, and thankfully it has.  They had to stick his heel, and I cried when they did - it's just so sad to see your little one in pain - I would so do it for him if I could - This is going to be such a learning and growing experience - for us all!
