First pediatrician appointment.

Lucy had her first pediatrician appointment today. In spite of the fact that she screamed her little furry head off the whole time, she got a glowing report. I've been worried that she looks yellow, but our doc said she's fine. She does have a little bit of jaundice, but nothing significant that time and mama milk won't fix. She camped out by the window for a bit today as well, which will help. The blood spots in her eyes are broken blood vessels from her lightening speed delivery. They will take 6 weeks to heal completely, but don't affect her vision and don't hurt her. She is down to 6 pounds, 6 ounces which is within the acceptable limits so no further weight checks or anything are necessary. Now that my milk is in, she should gain quickly.

All in all, she's perfect! We will see the doc again for her 2 month check up and in the meantime, I'm just supposed to nurse, nurse, nurse and grow this baby. That I can do!
