First Pediatrician Appointment

So, as the rest of the parenting world had already discovered, having a newborn baby provides infinitely more reasons to worry.  Is he eating enough, not enough? Is he hot, cold? Is he sick, healthy...We had looked forward to the first pediatrician's appointment to hopefully answer a few of those questions, and we were lucky enough to get positive answers to most.  After a week, Connor was already back up to his birth weight, he hadn't gotten any more jaundiced than he was at the hospital, and he seemed to be generally happy and healthy (and he almost managed to keep his streak alive of peeing on every doctor he met, but the pediatrician was a little too quick for him).  It was very reassuring to know that he was not lacking for sustenance, and it made us feel a lot better about how feeding time was going especially.  As we've entered into this parenting thing I think we find out everyday just how much we don't know what we're doing.  It's not that any of these are insurmountable problems, and many of the solutions are incredibly natural, but it can still be a bit overwhelming at times.  Overall, this first week of Connor's life has been amazing and we feel so lucky that we have been able to welcome him into the world.
