Hip Sonogram

Because Katherine was breech, we had to have a hip sonogram to make sure her hip was not dislocated. We had to be at Children's Hopsital, near downtown at 8 am. That was the biggest challenge since we are usually back in bed by then. The sonogram was really pretty uneventful. Katherine did not cry or seem to mind it. We found out later this week that everything is just fine.

Dr. Halsell visit

Today we took Katherine for her two week visit with Dr. Halsell. For some reason, Katherine cried the entire time. She cried before we were in the room, in the room and as we were leaving. Every time we would finally get her settled down, someone would come in to look at her. Today she weighed 6 lb. 11 oz and was 19 inches long. Her weight, height and head circumference were all in the 5th percentile. She is a tiny thing.

Nurse Laura

Because we left the hospital a day early, we had a home visit from a nurse. She was a former midwife from England and reminded me of Jo from Supernanny. It was great. She was here for two hours and went over all kinds of things. The best part was that she weighed Katherine. She now weighs 6 lb. 5 oz which means that she has gained 12 ounces in the last 5 days. She is a good eater.

Dr. Visit

Today we took Katherine for her first Doctor's visit. We saw Dr. Yaeger. She weighed 5 lb. 9 oz which is one ounce more than when she left the hospital.
