Jaiel had his first pediatric appointment today, and all in all it went boffo.  After losing the typical x amount of ounces (in his case it was 9–apparently acceptable) in the days immediately after birth, he’s bounced back up to weigh in this morning at 6 lb. 1 oz.  Or in other words, what he probably weighed before peeing all over the place right before being put on the scale in the delivery room.

But the pediatrician was happy, enough that he stuck two “very”s in the sentence:  “I’m pleased with how your son is doing.”

When it comes to growth, feeding, waste production and general edibility, so are we.

A week and a day after being born, the kid has shown no noticeably improvement in either potty training or sleeping through the night, however.  In those two regards, we fear our son may be something of an underachiever.

Speaking of performing below expectations, my computer gave up the ghost Sunday night.  Hence not so prolific with the bloggery.  It was probably overdue (both the computer’s demise and my slowing down with posting to the blog), and I have everything backed up.  So it’s less of a tragedy than an inconvenience.  We even have another computer, or rather Ana Lisa has a computer.

Let me explain the basic equation:  two sleep-deprived people, one of whom has an achy midriff, gets two parts of her body regularly yanked and pinched, and is essentially being told to sit down darn it, after being in the habit of exercising daily and lots of other activity.  Together under one roof.  With one computer.

Given the circumstance, the wonder is we’ve generally been getting along just dandy.

There would be more to report and more photos to free associate about, but I’ll save them for soon when we’re back to a more equitable computing arrangement.  For now just a brief greeting, thanks to all of you for the many forms your kindness has taken toward us.

In the meantime, how ’bout one quick beefcake shot for the road?
