First Pediatrician Visit

Jackson had his first visit to the pediatrician's office this morning. It's actually the same office (Green Hills Pediatric Clinic) where Juliette works as a nurse and where I went growing up. This was just an initial visit to weigh him and check out his basic vital signs. We received some great news: Jackon's weight is up to 9 pounds 10 ounces (2 ounces more than his birth weight) and he's grown another 1/2 inch to 23 inches. For cardiac babies, returning to birth weight is a big step. We were thrilled to see that he's eating well and that his body is recovering.
