Its was a pretty good first weekend. It started out with a bump. I managed to tear the end of Baby GL's g-tube so now it takes a lot of work to get his feeding done without leaking it out everywhere. The nurses I spoke to kept telling me he'll need to have the whole tube replaced which was stressing us out. After finally being able to speak to the surgery clinic we can go into tomorrow to have them repair the end with and adapter of sorts. Thank goodness.
We took our first trip to grandma's house to visit with family. I wanted to do it myself to get used to traveling with oxygen, monitor, diaper bag and car seat. It wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. It's good he doesn't weigh too much yet.
Baby GL had his first pediatrician visit today. The car seat didn't go as smoothly as scheduled. Just a slight slip in positioning and the alarm blares. We finally got going and I managed to get a thermos of coffee in the diaper bag. It was a hectic morning.
At the doctor we weighed and measured him. He's now 6lbs 12.5ozs and 18.5 inches. Getting so big now coming up on 6 months old. Not much else to report from the doctor. We'll be going back in a month to get shots and flu shots. I guess for him he'll get 2 rounds of flu shots. Then he'll get the RSV virus vaccine going into winter.
Other than hanging out in his swing and other numerous toys he hasn't been too productive. He's been so sweet and the time with him is so wonderful.
