First Trip to the Pediatrician's Office


On our way to Dr. Richardson's office 


Kohen's bilirubin level was elevated when we left the hospital so we had to go to the pediatrician's office the very next day. They seemed pretty concerned at the hospital about it, but Dr. Richardson thought that it was no big deal. He was right too. Kohen got a little bit jaundiced but not nearly as bad as they said he would at the hospital. The medical assistant had daddy undress the baby and help with measurements. Richie was a little nervous to undress him, but he did just fine.




She also had daddy redress Kohen. Richie did better with dressing the baby than he did undressing the baby.

Redressing the baby

At two days old Kohen was 18 1/2 inches long and weighed 5 lbs 13 oz and is perfectly healthy. Dr. Richardson is amazing and we are very happy that we picked him as our pediatrician. (I think he was even practicing before I was born!). When we got home from the pediatrician visit "Uncle" Jason came to visit. We have such amazing friends!
