Ewan Quinn, Day 7

It's been almost a week since Ewan entered the world. I'm not sure where the time has gone, although a safe bet is that a lot of it revolved around poo.

We had our at-home well-baby check today. I wasn't aware that they still did housecalls, but our hospital and our insurance company have demonstrated that their focus is on prevention of problems rather than fixing something when it breaks - probably a sound business model and better for all involved.

Anyway, the check-up went fine. Ewan has regained the weight he lost right after birth (most babies drop a few ounces) and is now just above his birthweight. His infant jaundice is starting to clear up. All appears well; we have a healthy little boy in our family now.

Thanks again for the continued well wishes and support. More topical blogging to resume shortly...
