After getting up we all got ready for Emma's first doctors appointment. We started getting ready at 8:30 am and just made it out the door at 10:30 am. Adding a baby to the mix of getting ready slows us down a bit, it makes us wonder what it will be like getting ready when we throw Cloey into the mix. We LOVED the pediatrician that a friend of ours recommended. Dr. Bob was very personable and great with Emma. He was very pleased with Emma, but does want her to work on eating more. She has her good days and bad days with eating and the last day wasn't a good day. This is the same problem we had with her before leaving the NICU on Sunday. He wants her to eat between 60-90 mls every 3 hours. Emma would rather have between 30-40 mls every 2 or 3 hours. So we will be working away with her on feedings again. She has to go back next Tuesday for a weight check with Dr. Bob. She didn't lose any weight since being discharged, but she hasn't gained any weight either. She got her first shot and Mommy did well and didn't even cry. After the appointment we headed to Target to get a new style of bottle to see if it will help with her eating and gas problems. Dr. Bob suggested the Playtex Drop-Ins and the Dr. Brown's bottles. We bought one of each and have had some success with the Playtex bottle so far today.
I know I said I would try and get pictures up, but I am beat after last night and sadly Jason and I haven't napped when she has napped the last two days. With all that in mind Daddy and I are two tired parents. Thinking tonight will be an early bed time for all three of us. I promise to put pictures up tomorrow. I know everyone is itching for some new pictures and video clips. Big Sister Cloey comes on Thursday to finally get to meet her Little Sister. I can not wait to see the interaction and joy on Cloey's face once she finally gets to meet Emma. I have a feeling it will be a pretty emotional evening.
