Tuesday, April 21st Reed had his first pediatrician appointment. Reed should have gone to the doctor exactly a week after birth, but the doctor we chose was not available until Reed was 12 days old. He was doing so well we were reassured that it would be okay to wait. We were so excited to get him weighed and find out how much he had grown. Reed weighed 7 lbs 6 oz at birth, lost down to 6 lbs 14 oz. before we went home and at the appointment he weighed 7 lbs 7 oz. I was so happy to see he had gained all his weight back and a little more! He had also grown 1/2 an inch, he was now 20 1/2 inches long. The only measurements we had from the hospital were weight and height. At the appointment they also measured his head and it was 13 and 3/4 inches. Both weight and head circumference were in the 35% when compared against other 1-2 week olds and length was 50%.
The doctor's office was so crowded and after waiting for an hour, we totally forgot to take pictures of Reed with the doctor, etc. Reed barely cried while he was being checked out, it was so cute just watching him lay there while the doctor listened to his little heart.
