First Outing!
Caitlin had an appointment with her pediatrician today. It was her first trip out since coming home on Wednesday. She did a great job. She slept in the car and didn't cry too much. The doctor is monitoring her weight because she lost about 8% of her body weight after delivery. She is down 10% now (6 lbs. 15 oz.), but the doctor isn't too concerned. We go back on Tuesday, the 6th. She is eating consistently every 2-4 hours so her weight should be up by next week!!
Our first night home wasn't too bad. Grant and I have a great system going (I feed her, he calms her down if she doesn't go back to sleep after the feeding). Last night, she wasn't eating as well. But, she is back on track now that the yummy milk has come in!!!
Thanks for all the well wishes we have received so far! Caitlin is lucky to have so many people that care about her!
Don't worry about a 10% weight loss, that is normal and Jack had the same weight loss. A couple of weeks she will be back to here birth weight.
