Everything's great. Alton's gained four ounces since discharged from the hospital, and going strong. He had dropped 9% of his birth weight in the first 36 hours, so there was some concern that he wasn't getting enough nutrition. The pediatrician who saw Alton in the hospital wanted us to follow up quickly with our regular practice, so we can accurately track his weight gains. Alton's dr is pleased with four ounces in two days, and has given us permission to stop supplementing with formula. He also gave us permission to continue if we choose.
We took Alton for a spin around the neighborhood last night--Eric pushed the stroller. We stopped for a botany lesson ("See the flowers, Alton? See them?") and pedestrian safety rules ("Always check for cars"). We live on a double cul-de-sac, and we did one lap. That was enough for me; I'm supposed to be taking it easy, after all.
So. . .yep. Everything's going great.

thanks for the updates - it is like reading a diary when you look over the past entries! it will be nice for Alton to read when he is older, too.
Love MOM
