Video and Pictures of Lucas taken 1-19-2009, at 1 week of age.
Lucas had his first appt with his pediatrician Dr. Rauchwarg. He said his jaundice looks like its clearing up, but the reason why his eyes are not really white is because the yellow from the jaundice clears from toe-to-head. He will have his bilirubin levels checked again on wednesday, and then we see the doctor again next tuesday. The family practice medical center was very nice and I will most likely be switching my primary care physician to this building also--not just because I could go to the same place for myself and Lucas, but because my current doctor is useless; when I thought I was pregnant and wanted my progesterone levels checked with a simple blood test, he said, "go to CVS and take a pee test.." idiot. Turns out I did have low progesterone levels and took progesterone pills until week 12. The only problem is that my doctor referred me to my current OBGYN Dr. Shwayder, who I really do like and who I know remembers me and shows true concern. So if I change my Primary care doctor, I may have to go to a different OBGYN. Anyway, I like Lucas doctor so far and thats what's most important. Oh! And Lucas gained a little weight! From 7 lbs 4 oz on friday, to 7 lbs 9 oz today! So he is feeding well. :)

Have all the fun you can with this time in his life. It passes before you know it.
He's soooooooooooooooo cute! ^__^ AAAAAAAAHH I'm melting~!
Cute video! Looking some of those pics Lucas looks a little like Norman!
thanks! yes I will be using up this camera now-every second! and yeah i think i can see how you see norman, since norman and I look alike. you two (jenny + iris) will be having your own so soon- you better make lots of video/pics too!
That's great he gained weight. Usually they lose it first. Sounds like he is being well fed.
That's awesome you like your pediatrician. It took us a while to find one we liked. We now have a great one.
brianne- oh he lost at first. He started at 7 lbs 12 oz, went down to 7 lbs 4 oz and now went back up a little to 7 lbs 9 oz. I am so paranoid about everything i notice about him. Lately his eyes have been crusty- i guess its a blocked tear duct and i massage it with qutip (?) and put breastmilk on it. Then i noticed his poop was runny like diarrhea. then he threw up some of his milk yesterday but I think thats because i didn't burp him well. Scary to worry so much.
