Q's First Appointment

Today we had Q's first well baby visit and when the pediatrician walked in the first thing he said to me was that he had heard about Q's delivery and knew it was sans epidural. Although he was under the impression it was by choice, so of course I had to correct that impression. But apparently the story of my labor has made it's way around among the doctors and nurses.

As for Q, she's doing great! She has lost another 2 oz since birth which puts her at 7lbs 8oz currently. Before leaving the hospital they told us she was slightly jaundiced and today she was still so but Dr. B didn't think either the low level of jaundice or the weight lose were anything to be concerned about. He thinks that both will correct themselves once my milk comes in - which as of today has happened.

Just as an added update: things at home are going well. Wednesday night and yesterday (Thursday) were pretty tough for all of us I think. But then again I tend to think that the first night home from the hospital is always the toughest. Now that my milk has come in things seem to be going so much more smoothly with Q, Y is an entirely different story. She's struggling but she will adjust as well.
