First Doctor Appointment

Abby had her first doctor appointment yesterday. The main goal of this appointment is to make sure that she is gaining weight and is at least back up to her birth weight. At birth, she was 7 pounds, 11 ounces. When she was released from the hospital Monday, her weight was at 8 pounds, 3 ounces.

As of yesterday she weighs 8 pounds, 8 ounces! So her first appointment, all was fantastic!!

The doctor looked over her file from the nursery and thought that they were extra cautious in keeping her and that she looks really good. Her breathing and heart rate both sounded good. Her next doctor appointment is not until she is two months old (after I get her registered with the insurance).

She is also starting to get some neck strength. When I burp her, she can lift her head and flail around. Gotta keep an eye on her!
