We took our first family outing yesterday for Nolan's doctor appointment. He doesn't seem to mind riding in the car seat (yet!) and is a very content passenger. In fact, he is a much better passenger than patient. It's not that he was very fussy during the appointment, he just happened to let loose about a gallon of pee when we undressed him on the exam table. Seriously, a gallon. Here's the picture to prove it!
Besides that incident (as well as the pooping on the scale incident), it was a great visit. The Doc was impressed with his demeanor, vital signs, and weight. He is now 20 1/2" long and weighs 7 lbs 10 oz. This means he's lost 1/2 a pound since birth, which is normal.
Nolan has been such a blessing and (so far) has been fairly easy to take care of. We're adjusting to the new sleep patterns and learning to decipher his different cries. Lindsey and I both look at each other a few times a day and say "I can't believe he's really here." It all seems very surreal, but also very amazing.
Thank you for all the cards, phone calls, prayers, and well-wishes. We're so fortunate to have such loving family and friends.
