Sophia had a check up at her pediatrician's office today. At her initial visit to the pediatrician last Friday, Sophia weighed in at 7 lbs 8 oz. That was a full pound less than her birth weight! Her doctor was a little concerned and asked us to make sure that she eats at least every three hours and to wake her up from naps to eat if necessary. The doctor also asked us to supplement her breast milk with formula. Mitzi and I made sure to follow the doctor's instructions over the weekend and thankfully at today's appointment, Sophia's doctor was happy with her progress. We still need to make sure she eats every three hours, but we no longer have to supplement her diet with formula.
In addition to the weight concern, her doctor was also concerned with Sophia's jaundice. In order to combat her jaundice, her doctor recommended we put her in indirect sunlight over the weekend. Below of are a few shots of her "suntanning" this past weekend:
Thankfully, Sophia's doctor was also happy with her progress and her jaundice is nearly gone.
Mitzi, Sophia and I also thought it was time to get out of the house, so we took Sophia on her first outing...to Target.
As you can see from the photo, it looks like mommy has already started trying to fill Sophia's closet.
