Today was Adilyn's first Dr. appointment - her newborn follow-up. This was our first family trip out of the house since we got home from the Hospital. It felt kind of nice to get out of the house together - and the weather cooperated with a high of 14 degrees -- heat wave!
Here she is in her car seat.
The Dr. said she looks great and we found out she's even put on 4 ounces since we've been home from the Hospital! She's now a whopping 4 lbs 4 oz! She also grew an inch since she was born - up to 18" long. She did great at the doctor's office and was cool as a cucumber while the Dr. checked her out.
We then had to run to North Memorial Hospital in Robbinsdale so Adi could get her metabolic test done again - poor little girl had to get pricked in BOTH heels because the first girl didn't get enough blood on the test paper for it to work. It was really hard for me to listen to our little girl screaming while she got pricked and had blood squeezed out of her little heel. I had to look away while they poked her - and am thankful that Dan was there to comfort her since I was having a hard time watching her so upset. Thankfully, the second person that came in to do the test was much quicker and seemed more experienced. I guess my maternal instinct is in full force, because I was very upset that they didn't get it right the first time and my little girl had to suffer another poke! Fortunately, she recovered and just has a couple of band-aids on her heels.
Quite the event filled day for little Adilyn and Mom - who have both been holed up at home for the past 4 days. It's been so fun having visitors and we definitely welcome more! I know there are many people anxious to meet Adilyn - and she's excited to meet you!
