This morning I noticed several breast-related things. First, bigger (after staying the same size all through pregnancy). And second, I think my milk came in last night after two days of colostrum.
Today we went to see the pediatrician for the first time! His vitals are now 6 pounds 3.3 ounces, still 20.5 inches long, and 12.75 inches head circumference. The nurse complimented me on the happy bounce in my step that she said was surprising for a first-time mom at three days (I ate it up). The doctor laughed when he agreed that my milk had certainly come in for Karston to weigh more than his hospital discharge weight already! He also said that he's rarely seen a newborn hospital record with so few checks next to boxes on medical things to watch. I take Karston's health as a compliment, so I ate that up too. All around, a positive visit!
