Every Tuesday at the community center here in town, the public health nurses hold a well baby clinic. We got up in the morning and got everything together for our first trip out of the house for just the two of us. It took a little while to get everything together since we would be there around your feeding time. It seemed a shame to be running around the house when you were sleeping peacefully in your bassinet... I could really use a nap! I got you all bundled up in your chair and off we went.
The little boy in line in front of us at the clinic was born the same day as you in St Thomas. What are the odds of that? He looked to have a couple of pounds on you though. He was a big boy! Since this is the first visit we stripped you down to get your weight. You were 7'14 when you were born, 7'10 when we left the hospital, and 7'12 at your last doctor's appointment when you were 7 days old. Today, at 18 days, you weigh a whopping 8lbs and 4ozs. My little chunky monkey!
It was a beautiful sunny day today as well. I had some errands to run in town so I thought we would take advantage of the sunshine and warm weather and take out the stroller. I parked at the mall and we walked to the post office then back up to the mall to wander a little bit. When we got home we both had a nice nap on the couch together. All that nice fresh air must have done you some good because you slept pretty well last night in your bassinet. (after you were good and asleep in my arms of course).
