One thing I've noticed is that having a baby makes me more nervous than I thought.  How do you know if he's getting enough food?  Sure he's pooping 5-7 times a day.  Sure he's peeing all over the place at least as much as he's pooping.  But because he was still under birth weight at his first doctor's appointment (and because the pediatrician suggested it), I brought a baby scale home from my office.  Something you may expect my brother to do, but what can I say, I wanted to do this too.  So he was 7 lb. 5 oz. at birth and 6 lb. 15 oz at the office.  So what do you know, today we weighed him and he's 7 lb. 9 oz.  Above his birth weight!  So that's his first milestone.  We're waiting for his cord to fall off next.
