Pediatrician Visits

We are so glad to have Sydney home with us where she belongs!  One thing I did not mention in Sydney's birth story is how wonderful our pediatrician, Dr. Murnane is.  Another blessing to add to our list!  She came to the hospital to check on Sydney everyday we were there, except Sunday.  Many of the nurses told us that is not typical for a pediatrician since she was technically under the care of the neonatologist in Special Care.  While she did not come to see us in the hospital on Sunday, she did call us at home to check to see how we were doing, and to let us know she already had our first appointment setup for the next day!  Since our first visit that Monday, we have been back two more times to check her weight.  As of yesterday, Sydney is back to her birth weight of 5 pounds 9 ounces!  She gained 2.3 ounces in two days- the nurse said she likes to see 0.5- 1.0 ounces gained per day, so she is already a little overachiever. :)  We go back two times next week and then look forward to stretching the visits out a bit hopefully.

Like my MC Hammer Pants?

Me with Dr. Murnane.  She's the best and makes me feel better!
