1st Doctor Appointment

Today was Kyla's 1st doctor appointment. Dr. Cardwell was out of town this week so we saw Dr. Hutchins. This was our first outing as a family and we were very excited to make sure she was healthy considering all of the feeding issues we had just been through. She was discharged from the hospital weighing 7 lbs 7 oz. At the Dr. when they took her measurements she was 21.5 inches long, 7 lbs 8 oz and her head circumference was 36 cm. It was very encouraging that she had put on 1 oz since she left the hospital! The Dr. looked her over and said she looked very healthy so that put our minds at ease. Being a new parent is definitely hard; we are constantly second guessing things like is she getting enough food, is she happy, is she sleeping enough, etc. so it was definitely nice to hear from the Dr. that she looked very good. Kyla was so well behaved and basically just wanted to sleep through her visit, but then the Dr. had to make her mad so she would open her eyes, Kyla finally opened her eyes and she was screaming then the Dr. was done with her checkup and it was time for us to dress her all while she was having a mini meltdown. We got her dressed and in the car and played American Honey and she was perfectly content!
