First checkup

Today Gabriel had his first doctor's appointment. As first impressions go, Gabriel's pediatrician has a good bed-side manner. He makes a parent feel comfortable easily, which is, obviously, a good thing. We chose to take Gabriel to a pediatrician, because we were told that if we went with a general practitioner, he would refer us to the pediatrician anyway.

Gabriel has been getting into his routine better already. His first days of life, he was hungry constantly but not enough to be satisfied. His feedings were almost continuous and unfortunately for Heather, more nocturnal than not. Now, he is sleeping longer and nursing so much better. He is a quick learner, though, so all three of us are getting more restful sleep. Of course, this is new to Gabriel, being out in the world, so it is expected. Like a Chinese man when you spin him round and round, of course Gabriel is disoriented. =)
