Bath & Doctor Appointment

Ray San got his first bath at home yesterday. He really was not quite sure what was going on. He screamed at first and then was okay with it and then screamed when he was getting dried off. Once he got dressed he was happy though. Here's a couple pictures from his bath.

After his bath, we were off to Virginia Mason in Federal Way for Ray San's first visit with his pediatrician Dr. Fox. He was a really nice doctor and seemed knowledgeable of preemies and their development. My mom would think he's a little too young probably, but I'm pretty happy with him so far. We go back in a week for a weight gain appointment. At this appointment, he got a thorough exam and everything checked out. Dr. Fox was amazed at really how well he was doing for being as early as he was. Ray San weighed 6 lbs. 13 oz. and was 19.75" long. He's growing like a weed. I unfortunately forgot to take pictures from his first appointment so I will have to get them from his second.

All things are still good with him being home. He is still a fairly easy child. He fusses when he's hungry and that's about it. It is so nice not having to go see him in the hospital.

I think we are ready for visitors now. If you want to visit, you are more than welcome. Just call or e-mail me (mswallachlaw@hotmail.com) and we can work out the details. Ray San is very excited to meet those of you he hasn't met yet and to see those of you he met in the hospital.
