Wow. Another appt so quick? After Cheyenne's first one, we didn't have to go back until she was 2 months. I have to take her next week for her 4 month already. More shots. Sad

Glad to hear she's doing so well!!!

that's weird. i wouldn't want to bring my newborn to the doctor so frequently during cold and flu season.

we went when finn was 5 days old, then i think we went back at 6 weeks, then 3 months, 6 months, 9 months, 1 year, and his next appointment is for 15 months.

With Luke I went a lot. We took him 3 days after birth. Then 3 days after that because he needed a jaundice check. Then we had to take him to his 2 week appt. After that he had his circumcision a week later and then it was time for his 4 week check-up. Oh, then he had another weight check.

It was insane for me but that was because he has jaundice and then he wasn't gaining weight.

It was fun times. lol.

Kristen was very early, ladies. Smile That makes her going to the doctor a little different. Smile I'm sure they want to make sure she has been gaining weight and is eating and breathing well, etc. Smile

Don't worry, Suzy, an early baby has to see the doctor more often.

She isn't even due yet, is she?

We just had to take Dante to the doctor today for a weight check because he lost 10% of his body weight and his jaundice levels were a little high. And yesterday we had to take him back to the hospital to get his bilirubin (sp?) level checked again.

Then we have to take him back on Thursday for another weight check and 2nd PKU.
