Aly's doctor visit went so well! Of
course, our appointment was for 9:20 and
somehow we didn't get out of the doctor's
office until 11:30, but other than that!
She screamed when the nurse took her to
get weighed! We could hear her screaming
all the way down the hall. The other
nurses kept popping their heads into our
room to tell us what a pair of lungs our
baby has. She's now 7 pounds 7 ounces, so
she's gained 10 ounces so far! The
pediatrician says that's really good for a
baby who is exclusively breastfed. And
apparently she's 19 1/2 inches, so they
must have measured her wrong at the
hospital. They told us she was 20 inches
at birth.
They didn't give her a vaccination today,
because they're doing them at her 2 month
checkup. But they did do another heel
stick test on her, and it took us 10
minutes to calm her down after that. Her
daddy was sooo good with her too. I'm
really impressed with how well he's taken
to becoming a father, since he seemed
pretty disconnected throughout the
pregnancy like none of it was real to him.
She really wore herself out today! I
nursed her when we got home and she's been
out like a light ever since! Usually I
have to cuddle her for a long time before
she's comfy enough to pass out! I'll
probably try to catch a quick nap while I
can... :)
