One week check-up

We had our one week check-up yesterday afternoon with Doctor Soler.  So far I really like her.  She is this sweet, little older lady with an English accent...who wouldn't trust their child to a doctor with an English accent?!  Anyway, Rudy had a great report.  He is already back up to his birth weight.  The doctor said that normally takes about a week to ten days so "he must be a good little eater!"  That's no understatement.  This child of ours LOVES to eat.  He only really fusses if he has a dirty diaper or wants to eat, otherwise he is a happy baby...so I'll take it!  His chest and heart all sounded great, too.  Dr. Soler laughed at how much Desitin we were using.  We have already been through about 3 tubes since we've been home.  Turns out you only need like a dime/quarter size at most...we had been squeezing in about a 3-4 inch line of it.  I thought yesterday, "why does this stuff come in such small tubes??  It needs to be in a pump as much as you have to use of it!"  It all makes sense now.  His circumcision was all healed.  That's a big relief because we no longer have to use the gauze and vaseline on it when we change him.  Makes for a much quicker and easier diaper change!  What else?  Oh he was alert while we were there and she said it looks like he is really focusing on us which isn't common at such a young age, so that was nice to hear.  And his cross-eyed-ness is normal.  Until newborns get better control of their eyes and vision, they can get crazy eyes.  And Rudy definitely gets some crazy eyes going!  I think that about sums it up...next appointment is at one month.  I'm sure it will be here before we know it!
