We had Makenna's first doctors appointment this morning. Note to self - don't make an appointment for first thing in the morning with a newborn - she had not yet eaten and didn't care that we were in the car. Thankfully we were a little early and Robert went in to fill out the paperwork and I sat in the car and fed Makenna for a bit. That was enough to tide her over!
She is doing well. She has a blocked tear duct, but we had already suspected that and had the dr. call in a prescription to prevent infection on Monday. She should out grow it, but may have yucky stuff in her eye for a while. Apparently she has strong head movement already - I could have told you this as I have to "fight" her strong muscles while trying to feed. Must explain the crick in my neck! She was actually very cooperative while the dr. was in with us. She started her screaming fit as we were trying to get her dressed. Oh well.
And the big news of the appointment - she has already surpassed her birth weight - she is now 7 lbs. 10 oz. She likes to eat!
I am off to get a nap - 7:30 was early this morning!

-Aunt Alli! ...AHH I can finally say that!
Wow! I am so excited for you guys! She's beautiful! And 10 days old, I guess! I can't believe it! You're already a great Mommy - feeding to keep her happy through the appointment and napping while you get the chance so you'll be able to feed her all the many times she will request it! Congratulations - she really is beautiful!
