DD had her 2 wk appointment yesterday ... all is well she gained about a pound and a half in the 2 weeks! doc said they only look for her to be back at her birth weight so she well exceeded that. she still weighs less than your babe did when she was born @kjd291 which just solidifies your rock star status for me! lol
DD had her first check up with the pediatrician yesterday at 5 days young. Her weight was the same as at hospital discharge (6# 12 oz), I got to find out her APGAR scores (9 and 9) and Tbili (5.9) from the hospital. The doctor said she's just perfect! Lexi hated being undressed for getting her weight though and promptly peed all over the exam room table. I thought that was more of a baby boy thing, lol. Afterward we made a Target run and stopped by my work for a quick meet and greet. She slept the whole time she was in her carrier
Here she is with her organic pacifier, 'cuz doctor visits are hard...
@CoconutKisses21 A friend of mine said she found out the hard way that girls pee on you during diaper changes. She said when she lifted her legs to wipe she literally peed in her mouth! Definitely not just a boy thing!
Baby had his first post discharge check up yesterday at 4 days old. He's already back up to his birth weight! This kid definitely eats like a champ. I'm not sure how I feel about the pediatrician though. She's not as warm and friendly as our last one. I guess all that should really matter is that she knows what she's doing and is knowledgeable, but I just walked away feeling kind of so so about her. We'll see her again in a couple of weeks and hopefully the vibe is different on that day.
DD has her first post discharge pediatrician visit this morning at 10. I'm dying to know what she weighs. As long as it is more than discharge & we are headed back to birth weight I will be very pleased.
@coconutkisses21 she peed not once but TWICE during diaper changes yesterday. As soon as the cold wipe touches her butt she lets it loose!!
Had 2 post discharge appts. Molly lost about 12% of birth weight at Tuesday's appointment so we had to aggressively feed ( my milk finally came in!) and Wednesday she gained 2.3 oz. yay!! We have another weight check Friday. Guys it's hard to keep going out with the c section recovery. That's the worst for me. I feel very sore when done. DH is driving us around but it just stinks.
@CoconutKisses21 I hear ya!! My little one has "fear peed" at every doctors appointment (3) so far! During her last appointment yesterday I had to change her diaper 3 times lol. But she's finally above birth weight!!! She gained almost a full pound in a week and is measuring in at 7 lbs exactly yesterday!!!
DS had his weight check since we were slightly below delivery weight at one week post partum. He is now officially 2 lbs up, putting him at 9lbs10oz. Safe to say, we're eating well in this house, ha.
I feel so weird posting about my routine OB appointment amongst all these postpartum and outside baby posts!!! Im so ready to join you gals. My doctor said I am 3cm dilated today and did a membrane sweep, so I've got till Tuesday afternoon or I'll be induced the next night! Please send labor dust and good vibes! I've had some small contractions but nothing consistent and kind of an achy back, with intensified horrible pelvic pain since the sweep at 11 so I am holding out for the weekend to get this child born!!! Due date is tomorrow so it would be extra awesome if she came then, haha
Molly had another weight check today at the pediatrician and she gained another 4 oz! She's now only down 8% instead of the 12% after discharge. She is eating like a champ! Next checkup next Friday
