Yesterday you had a checkup appointment with Heike. When she picked you up, you started smiling and talking to her. I missed it since I was in front of Heike, but Jennifer was up next to her and saw your face. I saw you talking, so sweet!
You had your heel poked for the second PKU test - you handed it so well and barely cried... although it helped to be nursing at the same time. Heike warmed your heal so well that you easily filled those five circles and had extra to spare.
You had spit up, so while Heike and I talked I changed your clothes, wiped you down, changed your diaper, and redressed you. It was nice to go over some questions that I had, and for her to look you over. I handed you to the assistant who was there at your birth, and who had felt around for you while you were inside growing. You seemed to know her also, and started talking to her also.
You're back up to your birth weight of 7lbs 2oz. It's nice to see your weight going on, helping to confirm that although I'm pumping for Baby G also, the system I'm following is leaving you with plenty to eat also. Yay!
Let's see, what else.... Heike said that you have breastmilk jaundice, and all is looking good and to just keep nursing. I did attach you while she was there so she could show me how to help extend your jaw to encourage a more comfortable attachment. It helped some. Your next appt. is July 1st at 10am, with Nicole. I can't wait for her to be able to meet you :D
Goodness, you're almost two weeks old... maybe I'll be able to finish and post your birth story tonight. What memories :)
