A Day for Doctors

Today was Corgan's 1 week Doctor's Checkup! It's hard to believe that he's already a week old! The appointment itself was pretty uneventful, and the doctor said Corgan is looking perfectly healthy. He's already gained a half inch (he's at 21" now), and he's nearly back to his birthweight (he's at 8lbs 5.25oz). So far that puts him just a little bit above average height and weight.

My 1 week post-partum checkup was today too. Everything went well there too. My scar looks good and I got a few questions answered. Other than that, not much to report.

Annabelle is really taking to Corgan now. When she doesn't see him, she asks where he is or goes to the basinett to see if he's in there. Today I was feeding him on the couch and she crawled up next to us to give him a bunch of kisses and to pet his head. He held her attention for quite a while, until she started getting too comfortable and her petting wasn't "gentle" enough for me. Tonight she even wanted to give him nite-nite kisses before going to bed. :) It's so encouraging that she isn't showing signs of jealousy at all yet, and really seems to love him and the idea of him! One thing that worries me is that tonight Annabelle she was sitting by us again and petting Corgan when I had to pick him up to burp him, and she wanted to help. How do you explain to an 18 month old that you're hitting the baby because he has a gas bubble in his tummy? :S
