Will's First Doctors Appt
Today, Will had is first doctor's appt in Greenville. He weighed 6lbs 3 ozs (which is great because he only weighed 5lbs 10ozs Sunday when we were discharged). Everything else looked good except his skin and eyes are a little jaundice (which the doctor said was frequently seen after birth). We have to return in one week to recheck his weight and monitor the jaundice (which should be resolved by next week). As far as home life...things have definitely changed in the Philpott house. Will eats every three hours and sleeps most of the time in between feedings. Zachary is adjusting well and loves his little brother. He tries to help with everything. Last night, David and I turned around for only a second and Zachary had Will in his arms carrying him across the room. Luckily, he did not pick him up by the neck. He had one arm under his head, one arm under his legs and had Will tight on his chest. Zachary was carrying him just right but hopefully will not try that again!
