Norah Update

At Norah's initial pediatrician appointment on Monday, Oct 6th, she weighed 7 lbs 1 oz which was 4 oz below her birth weight. She also had a fairly elevated jaundice level, though not high enough to warrant treatment. We had to continue to monitor her and and get blood drawn several more times- all without significant changes. At her 2 week appointment she had only gained 2 ozs and still wasn't at or above her birth weight. Also, her jaundice level was creeping up again. The dr asked to see her back in a week (today) and I'm happy to report she gained 11 ozs and is now 7 lbs 14 ozs! Also, he could tell by looking at her that we don't need to worry about jaundice anymore. This was great news- not only because she's healthy, but because I seriously hated holding her while they drew an entire vial of blood from her heel! I may have cried the first time when my hormones were wacky... :)

Looking cute today :)
