Wednesday morning was Elsie's first pediatrician appointment, so we dressed her up and strapped her into her carseat for her big adventure.
It was a checkup to make sure everything was going well in her first week of life. When we got in the examining room we were asked to strip her down to the diaper - she was going to love it! :)
The nurse asked us to take off the diaper to weigh her and as soon as we got the diaper off, she pottied on the table as if she had been saving it up! She weighed 7lb 4oz which means she is putting on the weight that she lost right after birth. She is supposed to be back at her birth weight (7lb 8oz) within two weeks, so she is right on track. The rest of the appointment went fine...she's fit as a fiddle!
Get me home!!!
A few months ago, Grandma Nancy gave us an article about "tummy time" and the pediatrician reminded us about it at the appointment. By putting the baby on their stomach and letting them struggle to raise their heads, it encourages development of neck muscles. Kind of like a baby workout. :)
You can do it!
