Maleigha saw her doctor in his office for the first time today. Her pediatrician is Dr Joseph Hamm and he is great. He came as a recommendation from a friend at work, and we are thrilled with him. He is so great with her.
Today she weighed 10 lbs, 2 oz and is 22 1/2 inches long. She is in perfect health. We've had some bad nights lately so I asked about that and he said he thinks it may just be her GI tract learning to work and her growing into it, basically, but if it continues until her next appt, Jan 17, or gets worse, then he will call her in some meds for reflux. He said the other thing it might be, and it's a long shot, that could be a mild case of colic, but he does not think it's colic. We are very hopeful it gets better on its own and she starts sleeping at night. Mommy is tired!
Also, just a note--I had my check up yesterday and I'm doing well too. My incision is healing well, swelling is down. I can now drive and lift up to 15 lbs. She released me to walk for exercise but no other exercises yet. I've lost 27 lbs since the Wednesday before Maleigha was born (last time I weighed). Chuck says I'm getting skinny, but I have never seen skinny, so I'm not holding my breath for that! :)
Hope all is well!
