Today was another big day for Allie Marie and the Rodicks, as we took our little girl to her first pediatrician appointment. Happy to report that she is back to her birth weight- all newborns lose up to 10% of their initial weight in their first week, and take up to two weeks to regain it, but this little girl is right back to her original weight :)
She is pooping and peeing regularly, all the right colors. We were waking her up to feed her every two hours, and the doctor said we could ease that back to every three hours, since the milk fairy has come in. I did a better job of sleeping when she was sleeping last night, so I am going to try to repeat it tonight.
We also saw the lactation nurse, and she gave Allie and I a thumbs up. She tends to fall asleep when she is nursing, so the nurse gave us a few tips on how to keep her up and not "milk-drunk".
We had wonderful visitors tonight as well, and they all agreed she is a cutie. We got some dresses as gifts as well, her first ones since all we had so far was unisex onesies :)
Tomorrow, Daddy goes back to work and I have another visit with the lactation nurse in Silverton.
Those two pictures were taken at the doctor's office. You can really see her gorgeous eyes on these pictures, she took after Daddy for sure.
We will keep the updates coming,
Love you all very much
