Today we had our second appointment. Thomas hadn't grown at all, but he did gain some weight. He's now at 8 lbs 2 ozs. Again, we had a great ride to and from the hospital - not a single whimper or cry out of him.
They drew some blood for tests and checked out his umbilical cord. It looks like we need to start moving that around to get some more of the cord exposed. His circumcision looked good and we don't have to vaseline that any more. He said something about some bit of skin that was attached in various parts that would become more detached as he grows - not sure that I understood all that.
We had a good night last night. Thomas slept very well. He did get a little ornery early this morning, but we attribute a lot of that to gas. Christi and Jill came on Monday and Christi noted something called "Gripe Water" that helped with the gas. Supposedly her pediatrician told her she could put it in the breast milk or just give it to him orally. We may try that this evening.
