"An ounce a day keeps the pediatrician away." That is what Dr. P said when we took Little Boo in for her 2+ week appointment. It seems our little girl is doing "very well" and her Doc is "very pleased" with her weight gain and how she is progressing. Okay, so the picture does not show our little porker who is now weighing in at 5lbs 11oz but this is her Papa's favorite picture so I wanted to share it with all. This was taken at the hospital right before we left.
So as I was saying, the Doc is pleased with her progress and can I just say WE LOVE DR. P. He takes in to account the fact that she is a preemie and really helps us to know what to expect and how to deal with the little nuances of our baby girl coming early. We are going to be sad to leave here and have to find a new Pediatrician. Actually we are going to be sad to find all new Docs. It is amazing the relationship you build with your medical team as you walk through pregnancy and try to figure out this crazy life with a newborn.
We go back to see Dr. P in two weeks so he can check her progress and we can discuss shots:( This will be tricky because she is set to get her first shots right when we leave. My assignment this week is to try and set something up in FL and coordinate that with Dr. P before we leave. Otherwise they may give her the shots early.... We'll see how this goes.
