Day 8 - December 1

Dear Julie,

Today, you had your first visit with our pediatrician, Dr. Good! The nurse had us undress you to just a diaper, then took your measurements. You weighed 7 pounds, 8 ounces, and were 20 1/4 inches long! My how you've grown already! Once the nurse was finished, Dr. Good came to visit. She asked how you were eating, and if we had any concerns. She was thrilled with your weight gain, since you'd dropped down to 7 pounds, 0.5 ounces when we left the hospital on Thursday. You gained eight ounces in five days! Mama must make good milk! She talked to us about adding Vitamin D to your diet since you were breastfed, and sent us home with a months supply. She said you looked great, and were healthy as could be. 



Then came the time we were dreading. Your first vaccine. You only got one shot today, and you were not happy about it. We were able to dress you in your onesie while we waited for the nurse, and you fell asleep while we waited. The nurse came into your room and explained that you may be more sleepy or fussy after the vaccine. Then she shot you. You didn't cry. You yelled. As loud as you could. In baby Italian. I'm not sure what you were saying, but there were a lot of curse words being said! It was adorable! Although, if you'd have cried, I probably would have felt differently. We calmed you down, made a follow up appointment, and headed home. 

Mindy played with you all afternoon, and you did tummy time for the first time today! 



Then we headed to the dance studio so you could meet our oldest students! Today was a quick trip, just long enough to say hello, and see the progress of their solos for our Christmas performance. We headed home, played some more, and went to bed.
