Elijah's First Doctor's Appointment

On Thursday, May 3, Elijah has his one week doctor visit. Incidentally this was also our due date! We have chosen a family doctor for the three of us.  Granny and Grandma were over bright and early and we headed for our appointment!
Elijah got to practice riding in a car seat and did very well. This was his third car ride!
We were so happy to have Granny here to help us with this important day! 
Mommy is checking Elijah in for his visit with Dr. Debroek.  We are very excited to have found such a great doctor! He is one of the founding doctors for North Cypress Medical Center and only a short drive from our home.  It is great that the three of us will get to have the same doctor. He will get to know our family so well!
Elijah decided to make the experience more memorable by tinkling on the scale. Sorry buddy.  I know it's cold in that exam room!
Our little man is growing and healthy. He gained almost a whole pound in less than a week! When we left the hospital, he was a little over 8lbs 4oz. Look at how much he grew.
Although we are not relying on pacifiers, we do allow Elijah to have his Wubanub at certain times like particularly fussy diaper changes and other moments that might cause him stress.  I was happy to have it with us to console him during this new experience. 
Dr. Debroek did a thorough exam and found that Elijah is very healthy and thriving!  We will see the doctor again in one month. 
We stopped by to see Daddy on our way home. While we were visiting, we finished up maternity leave paperwork and then took a walk around the office to introduce Elijah to Daddy's co-workers.
