Monday was our first appointment with our pediatrician which was a little discouraging.
We had lost a little bit more weight in the 2 days since we had left the hospital... Sofia was 5 lbs (5lbs 1 oz on Sat) and Maia was 4 lbs 15.5 oz (5lbs on Sat).
But even worse was Sofie's internal temperature was low and she was a little jaundiced. The doctor wrapped her in a bunch of blankets and had us blast the heat in the car (Monday was the 80 degree day) for the drive to hospital to get her blood drawn.
We then had to go back to the doctor's office to recheck Sofie's temp and wait for the lab results. She was warmer but slightly jaundiced.
No problems with Maia.
Fast forward to today (Wednesday)... where we had our second appointment with the Pedi.
Sofie's bili levels were leveling and her temp was perfect. Again there were no problems with Maia.
And our weights had increased!! Sofia weighed 5 lbs 5.5oz and Maia weighed 5 lbs 2.5 oz.
Now we dont have to go back until Halloween and as long as we gain weight between now and then we shouldnt have to supplement with formula! Yay!
6 day old pictures because they looked so cute!! Sofia in green and Maia in yellow.
