Brodie's first doctor's appointment

This morning Brodie had his first appointment with his pediatrician. He did good until the nurse told us to strip him down to just his diaper. He did not like that, nor did he like getting his temperature taken. Once we were able to take him back to the room, we swaddled him in one of his blankies and his world was right again. Then, he had a nice dirty diaper while we were waiting for the doctor. :)

The pediatrician, Dr. Loeb, is so nice! We're glad we chose her to be Brodie's doctor. She said that Brodie was looking GREAT! That was so wonderful to hear! She said that most newborns, at their first appointment, have lost weight, but Brodie gained weight! haha She did say he did look a little jaundice, but because he's gaining weight that it's nothing to worry about or anything to go get blood work done. That was good to hear too.

When we got home from the doctor's office, Brodie was asleep and slept ALL afternoon! Baby boy had a long day at the doctor's :)

Here are a few pictures from today, April 24, 2009:
