The Little Guy is 17 days old today, and it feels like he’s been around forever! That’s a good thing, promise. He has had some minor health issues (jaundice, hypospadia, and a minor dilation of the left kidney), and after a pretty easy pregnancy and easy time of getting doctor’s appointments and stuff, I am finding these post-birth days to be rather frustrating. We’re supposed to get him to see our new pediatrician ASAP, and the earliest apppointment is July 17. We’re supposed to get him to a pediatric urologist, and the earliest appointment is August 8. As a new mom, I am trying very hard not to be A) worried about his health all the time and B) angry about having wait weeks and months for appointments to find out if he’s all the way OK or not.
But let me talk about some of the good things: he’s gaining weight and eating well, he’s sleeping longer stretches (2 rather than 3 hours) and he’s absolutely adorable. He’s got what is looking to be a really good personality, and i don’t even now how to decribe how much i love the little guy!
