Lina's a Week Old!

Actually yesterday she was a week old. She's also had a couple doctor appointments in the past week, that I haven't updated about:

Monday we went to our family practice for her official "first checkup". The dr. we normally see for the kids was on vacation so we saw the other "kid doctor"in the practice. Lina weighed 8lb 8oz at that appointment. At that point she hadn't pooped since she passed the rest of the meconium her first night. The doctor said I could try cutting dairy out of my diet to see if that was giving her fits. I did, but she pooped the next day, which was way too soon for the dairy to have cleared out of my system, much less hers. Just to be safe I've been going light on the dairy since then, but she's been having plenty of poopy diapers.

And yesterday (Thursday) was our one week check-up at the Birth Center. They did Lina's hearing test (normally would have done it at the one day home visit but the midwife forgot to bring the machine, so we did it yesterday instead. Also weighed Lina again, she now weighs 9lbs. So has regained her birth weight & then some.

Lina's having trouble figure out that nights are for sleeping, and still has some periods of gas pain, though it seems to be subsiding, bot overall things are going well.

Big sisters continue to dote on her, most meltdowns center around wanting to hold Lina more or thinking sister is getting to hold Lina more than me. . .
