Ashley's Dr. Visits

Ashley has had very wonderful doctor visits so far! She is now a formula-fed baby (thanks to the aspirin I am taking daily for my blood clot!) and so I think that is why :) It seemed to take Emily forever to gain weight and each visit was kind of stressful, but so far, so good with Ashley. Here is a recap of our visits so far:

Look how little she looks on the big dr. table!!!

June 2nd
* 1st official appointment
* 8 lbs, 8 ozs (up from 8 lbs, 2 ozs at the hospital)
* Major question was the fact that when she spits up, it comes out her nose!!! Apparently completely normal, but it still weirds me out a little )

June 9th
* 8 lbs, 7 ozs (not too concerned, she was weighed on a different scale than the last time)
* Major question was her sleeping. She was sleeping ALL THE TIME. I know they say babies do that, but I don't think Emily ever slept that much! Again, she was completely normal :)

June 16th
* 8 lbs, 15 ozs (WOOO HOO, back to her birthweight)
* Major question was the consistency of her...ahem....poops :) Found out it's not the frequency of the poops, it's the consistency, so prune juice is needed. Again, completely normal :)

June 24th
* First visit to the sick side and she wasn't even really sick, I was just worried about a few things!
* 9 lbs, 14 ozs (MAJOR WOOOOHOOOO). Dr. said that 1 oz. a day is good for weight gain, she had gained 15 ozs. in 8 days!!! He even told me to start spreading the bottles out a bit....even at night....music to my ears :)
* To make a long story short....she is completely normal....again :)

She is truly an answer to prayer! I told God I wanted a healthy baby that slept....AMEN :)
