First Checkup
Apparently there is a medical term for ruining our sleep. It is called cluster feeding. I'm not sure that having a name makes it any better; it is still pretty annoying.
He was born 7 lbs 10 oz but his second weighing (2 hours later) was 7 lbs 6 oz. The pediatrician considers that odd; the assumption is that the initial birth weight was probably high. When he was released from the hospital the weight was 7 lbs 2 oz and his most recent measurement is 6 lbs 12 oz. This explains why his diapers keep falling off. We've got him in newborns and they are still too big. Last night the diaper slipped off entirely and he wet his swaddlings and sheet.
Since his weight has dropped since he left the hospital (this is normal) they want us to come back Friday for another weigh-in. If the weight hasn't stabilized then there may be reason to be concerned. They'll probably recommend supplementing with formula. Carrie thinks her milk is coming in so nutrition is on its way. Anyone who has seen the growth rate of the other two can testify that Carrie has super milk.
