Cooper had his first trip to the doctor on Monday October the whatever it was...19th I guess? It seems as if the OR nurse mismeasured Cooper and he is actually 20 inches long and not 21 3/4... The nurse at the doctor's office assured me that he did not shrink but I don't know that I trust her 100%. I should have asked the OR nurse OR U SURE? I can never find my tape measure when I need it.
All of Cooper's labs came back negative (which is good because the lab was testing for the presence of bacterial infections). The doctor also confirmed that he was in fact a boy...woo hoo! There's $25 worth of copay right there. The medical knowledge of some professionals is absolutely astounding.
Cooper's weight was up to 6lbs 6 oz on Monday. When he left the hospital his weight was 6lbs 4 oz due to a small amount of weight loss that all newborns experience. I saw his first dirty diaper, and I can assure you that is the reconciling difference to his birthweight...wow.
He was all tuckered out by the time we made it home and he posed for the above photo. He may end up with his daddy's tan. That's all natural baby!! Don't look up my shorts!
