Nurse Visit

Thursday, July 18th

We had a nurse come visit the house today. Pretty cool! Kaiser offers this service to anyone who goes home within 24 hours to check up on mom and baby. She was super nice and Lucas was very healthy except she was a little concerned about his weight. He was born 9 lbs. 1 oz. When we left the hospital, he was 8 lbs. 12 oz. and today he was 8 lbs. 3 oz. She said he lost 10% of his body weight. She said it was probably because my milk had not come in yet and she told me to feed him every 2 hours until it did to try and get his weight up. We have our 1st appointment with the pediatrician tomorrow so we'll see if he gains anything then. He was a little jaundice today 10.3 so we'll check that again too.

Other than that, he is nursing really well and sleeping a lot. Savannah is still with Brian's sister so we are missing her but enjoying the time to getting to rest and get to know Lucas. She's coming back tomorrow, so that will be nice. My dad is still here and we're getting to spend some good time with him. I'll try to post again tomorrow. That's all for now
