We had our 2nd doctor's appointment today. The first one was the day after we came home from the hospital and he weighed in at 8lbs 13 oz. The doctor said everything looked good and wasn't concerned about the billirubin levels. He said as long as he's gaining weight, that's all we care about.
Birth weight 9lbs 4 oz
Coming home weight 8lbs 11 oz
1st Doc appt 8lbs 13 oz
2nd Doc appt 9lbs .6oz
Last night his umbilical cord fell off. That makes me feel better about diaper/clothes changes. I was too nervous around it, afraid I would make it fall off prematurely or hurt him in some way.
Jacob is also growing in length. He is up to 22 inches, which is 1 1/2 more than when he was born and his head measures in at 15 cm. The nurse practitioner said everything looks great and she was rather impressed with how laid back and happy he was. We are very blessed to have such a great baby. Keep your fingers crossed that he stays this way. haha.

He really is a great baby...and mommy and daddy are doing a wonderful job.
Hey Rachel and Brian,
What wonderful news. I did read the entire blog about the birth and it sounded close to my first (minus the c-section). That was 25 years ago and let me tell you what, I wish I could put him back in there. He just moved back home, which is why I havent called you. I have been going CRAZY cleaning and rearranging all the bedrooms and crap that we have just to fit this kid back into my home. Anyway, congratulations again.....Jacob is BEAUTIFUL, which I knew he would be.
Rae, you can call me at home anytime you are not busy - you know when I get home. Other than me being busy with the things I am doing and not thinking to call you, I would be worried that I would wake up the baby or you from a nap. So, call if you like whenever. Pamelot
