Doc Appt, 6/23

Maria went to the doctors office in Ely yesterday for her 2 week check-up.  All in all, she received a clean bill of health!  Our biggest concern is getting her weight up.  She was born at 8 lbs, 5 oz, and is still lingering at 7 lbs, 8 oz as of yesterday.  Feeding her has been my new full-time job!  I have been waking her up every 3 hours, round the clock...  She nurses and now gets formula on top of that.  So far we have noticed her crying much less since the food marathons began :)  We'll go into the doc again in a week to get weighed again...  Lets hope she gets bigger!!

  1. I think you should encourage her with a few "BIG GIRL HUUUNNNGRY" remarks. I'll practice for next week's cheering sesh. :D xo
